The 20W / 1mJ laser is dedicated to marking or micro mechanical applications. The device has unique features such as CW or pulse operation mode and low pulse duration (30ns) for higher peak power (up to 30kW). The laser includes Manlight’s unique EPL (Exchangeable Pump Laser) technology which allows the user to exchange the pump laser in case of failure. The lifetime of the laser is therefore extended. The device is air-cooled and a 2-year warranty is given.

A large range of antennas for surface ships and submarines applications cover all the usual frequencies ranges: VLF, HF, VHF & UHF.
Various types of design are available (whips, dipoles, annulars, loops…), offering an optimum solution to each specific application.

FleetManager software allows mission supervision with various ships and undersea vehicles. As a true tactical screen, FleetManager offers operator many visualisation tools (routes plotting / following, automatic & configurable alarms, characteristics monitoring for all equipment,…). The software integrates marine charts visualisation from Jeppesen.

The « NTP server » module keeps GPS time in underwater vehicles during diving, with both a very high accuracy and stability. This time is then distributed to all embedded computers, and controls programmable trigger lines for payload conflict management (acoustic incompatibility…).

These compact cameras are endowed with hard-wearing, simplified structures for image quality far superior to CCIR standards. Despite their small size, they include built-in image processing procedures. They find applications in all scientific, industrial and military sectors where the observation of details is important.

Rotating systems and high precision ball bearings are designed according to specific or standardised client requirements. These specific products meet the needs of high technology markets as varied as defence, aeronautics, space, medical, optics, scientific, nuclear or vacuum industry. The equipment can be integrated and be composed of structural parts, a motor, a collector, an encoder, optics, electronics….

Thanks to an optimized assembly of low inductance components, the LTD (Linear Transformer Driver) technology makes it possible to build generators that are able to deliver electrical pulses with extremely high peak power. With this modular and compact technology, scientific research tools using High Pulsed Power become affordable and could be more widely spread.

This ultra compact laser (90 x 70x 15 mm) provides pulses up to 30µJ with pulse width from 2 to 50ns. The laser is dedicated to LIDAR military or civil applications such as telemetry, range finding, active imaging or obstacle detection. The all-fibered architecture insures high performances and high reliability at an attractive pricing. This device is air-cooled and is maintenance free, with very low power consumption.

The system, which is protected within a sealed and thermo-regulated housing, allows two separate HD colour/intensified modules that can be controlled from a distance by IP network to be integrated on a single optical channel. This system is adapted to day/night, long distance, active and passive observation. It is designed to operate with an added pulsed/continuous light source for active imagery applications.

Manlight designs and manufactures a wide range of EDFAs for telecom and CATV networks. The optical amplifier reached output power up to 20W in a very compact package. This power can be split up to 16 ports. Intelligent electronics control alarms and commands of the EDFA through a RS-232 interface. Power consumption of these devices is reduced due to the innovative optical architecture.

Based on piezo technology, the naval pressure transducer are fully interchangeable with old generation ones and allow an easy on-board exchange. With both higher reliability and accuracy than their elder, they participate to lifetime extension of the main system where they belong.

Switching boxes and coupling units of radio signals on board surface ships and submarines allow interconnection and recombination both in transmission and reception of signals, VHF, UHF, HF, VLF, LF.

Syntactic foam blocks and buoyancy products for deep depth operations.
Syntactic foams of proprietary chemical formulations achieve state of the art characteristics in terms of mechanical resistance to very deep water pressure (10000m) and low densities. These foams are available as standard blocks or as buoyancy products.

Underwater acoustic pingers are used to mark positions or objects, track equipment… Time and spectral spreading techniques offer immediate identification & optimal tracking.

Autonomous vehicles used in various applications such as oceanographic science, military… Underwater gliders carry multiple sensors & payloads and navigate during weeks. They are coupled with communication / localization innovative technologies to offer, among others, supervision means.
