These instruments validate that the optical component survives in the operational environment in which it will be used. Accelerated end-of-life testing is performed by high cycle count testing at extreme conditions. Standard MIL-Spec profiles are commonly used, per MIL-PRF-13830B or MIL-C-48497A, or customized profiles can be defined. - Leak Testing, for sealed models - Humidity - Salt Fog - Temperature Cycling - Durability - Environmental - Laser Damage Threshold
