    See more features and specifications.

  • The Laser Light Modulator is a device that detects the presence of spectrally very narrow light and imparts a slow amplitude modulation on its intensity. Through the use of polarizers and a birefringent crystal, light with very narrow spectral content is modulated while broader spectral light (including sunlight) is not modulated.

    • Works over a broad spectral band, so no narrow bandpass filter is needed
    • Easily integrates onto commercial visible or SWIR lenses
    • Unlimited Rows Per Section
    • CLM-35C-NIR includes a 700 – 1100 nm modulator with a 35mm F/1.4 lens
    • Indirect or scattered light can be detected
    • Modulation frequency is adjustable from 1 Hz to 30 Hz
    • CLM-35C-SWIR includes a 900 – 1700 nm modulator with a SWIR 35mm F/1.4 lens
    • Narrow spectral light anywhere on the camera image can be detected (individual camera pixels are modulated)
    • Battery operated
    • Automatic wavelength estimation optional
    • Software for automatic detection can be developed
    • Can be incorporated into other viewing aides such as a monocular
