NATO Supply Class 5980 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 59, which is dedicated to Electrical And Electronic Equipment Components.

Specifically, NATO Supply Class 5980 focuses on Optoelectronic Devices And Associated Hardware. Optoelectronic devices are electronic devices that can emit, detect, or control light. They combine the principles of optics and electronics to manipulate and control light for various applications.

Examples of optoelectronic devices that fall under this supply class include:

1. Lasers: Devices that emit coherent light through the process of stimulated emission. Lasers have a wide range of applications, including telecommunications, medical equipment, and scientific research.

2. Photodetectors: Devices that detect and convert light into electrical signals. Photodetectors are used in various applications such as optical communication systems, imaging devices, and light sensors.

3. Light-emitting diodes (LEDs): Semiconductor devices that emit light when an electric current passes through them. LEDs are commonly used in lighting applications, displays, and indicators.

4. Optical fibers: Thin, flexible strands of glass or plastic that can transmit light over long distances. Optical fibers are used in telecommunications, medical imaging, and data transmission.

Associated hardware refers to the components and accessories that are used in conjunction with optoelectronic devices. This can include connectors, lenses, filters, mounting brackets, and other supporting equipment.

NATO Supply Class 5980 plays a crucial role in ensuring the availability and standardization of optoelectronic devices and associated hardware for NATO member countries. It helps facilitate interoperability and compatibility among different military systems and equipment that rely on optoelectronic technology.
