VCSEL-based Compact Laser Illuminator (CLI) is a high power, pulsed laser illuminator capable of up to 30 W of peak output power. Designed for SWaP-sensitive platforms, the CLI provides speckle-free illumination in a passively cooled compact package. Currently available in the NIR band at 860 nm and the SWIR band at 1060 nm, the CLI is controlled through a serial port and operates from 8 up to 1000 Hz.
