The Army's ability to detect chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive materials (CBRNE) remains vital in countering threats to the Soldier. At large standoff distances of 100+ meters, the Warfighter gains significant protection using this double pulsed laser for enhanced Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) sensor performance. JMAR Technologies has developed an innovative and unique small, lightweight double pulse laser system that can generate microplasmas for LIBS hazard detection using a single-resonator laser cavity design. This all solid-state laser system has multiple advantages over current laser technologies including ruggedness, compactness, efficiency, as well as precise beam co-propagation with exceptional beam quality for tight focusing at large standoff distances. Successful fielding of this product will provide standoff detection capability for IED's and other threats whereas such capability currently does not exist. JMAR Technologies' laser technology has numerous applications for not only the military and homeland security, but also the civilian marketplace where it can be deployed for IED and explosive detection, drug interdiction, environmental hazard analysis, materials identification, geology and geochemistry.
Frost & Sullivan has awarded JMAR Technologies, Inc.'s BioSentry™ Water Monitoring System as the recipient of the 2008 Product of the Year Award in the U.S Biological Detection Market. Through continuous online monitoring and automated response within seconds, the BioSentry™ is quickly changing the way that water is treated, distributed, and protected; thereby keeping our nation's most precious resource safe from both accidental and intentional biological contamination. JMAR Technologies is one of the only companies in the U.S. to develop a system capable of continuously monitoring for dangerous microorganisms in treated water. Founded in 1987, the company went public three years later and has been dedicated to the research and development of laser-based technologies for imaging, analysis and fabrication. Originally intended to focus on the semiconductor market, JMAR Technologies has evolved over the years and has advanced its technologies to address markets including nanotechnology, biotechnology, homeland security, and water monitoring.
