The LXM is a narrow-linewidth semiconductor-laser module based on distributed-feedback technology. indie’s March 2024 release describes low-noise electronics and frequency modulation for coherent applications, with configurations addressing wind sensing, distributed acoustic sensing, FMCW lidar and optical-network monitoring. It is an optical source for integration by system developers. The inspected announcement does not establish complete-system detection performance or a defence deployment.
