Eye-Beam™ GMA Expanded Beam Connectors and Cables

Eye-Beam™ GLT Expanded Beam Fiber Optic Connection System

Rugged, High-Power Fiber Optics for Free Space Optical (FSO) Communications and Directed Energy Applications

A major impediment to the deployment of directed energy technology utilizing high-power lasers has been the lack of a connectivity solution to facilitate line replaceable unit (LRU) maintenance in the field. Glenair is pleased to introduce Eye-Beam Power, the world's first ruggedized, high-optical power terminus for multi-pin connectors. Leveraging our field-proven expanded beam technology, Eye-Beam Power utilizes a novel expanded optical beam approach to create a robust and stable optical connection in any environment. The industry-standard size #8 contact module allows Eye-Beam Power to be loaded into a multitude of connector form factors such as the Glenair "better than QPL" SuperNine MIL-DTL-38999 Series III, the high-performance Series 792 rectangular, and micro miniature Series 806 Mil-Aero.

Glenair has also developed a signature optical-alignment assembly process that yields reliable cable assemblies in accordance with the most stringent Mil-Aero industry requirements. Our 20W and higher optical power solution is compatible with standard polarization-maintaining 1064nm fiber. 1550nm and other wavelengths can also be supported. The Glenair expanded-beam termini experiences low temperature rise at peak power, minimizing the need for additional heat sinking or thermal management beyond that of a simple copper wire overbraid.
