TAILORED GENERATION OF LASER PULSES WITH IMPROVED POWER AND DURATION

CSIC has developed a method that improves the characteristics of the signal in ultra-fast fiber laser systems. The accurate control of the polarization of light in such lasers leads to the generation of shorter and more powerful pulses. The system is compatible with multiple fiber laser designs (including closed-cavities and ring lasers) reliant on the use of doped fiber amplifiers, regardless of their initial polarization management requirements.

Industrial partners in the optics industry are being sought to collaborate through a patent licence agreement for the manufacture and commercialization of systems that incorporate this technology.
