Defense
For defense, wavelength and operational parameter 
requirements vary significantly from application to application. Beside established usage of lasers in range finding and target designation, key hot areas are eye safe diode lasers used in a number of applications. Other areas are wide-field illumination, high-energy lasers, as well as homeland security detection and instrumentation.
