PULSE

High-Power Ultrafast LaSErs using Tapered Double-Clad Fibre

. PULSE A world record power 2.5kW laser providing from picosecond down to femtoseconds pulses at repetition rates up to 1GHz with excellent beam quality will be developed and brought to the market at highly competitive costs enabling widespread industrial uptake.

Η τιμή της πηγής θα είναι ιδιαίτερα ανταγωνιστική και θα βοηθήσει την ευρεία χρήση της στην βιομηχανία. Με την αξιοποίηση των μοναδικών χαρακτηριστικών ενίσχυσης των πατενταρισμένων tapered double-clad οπτικών ινών θα παραχθεί απαράμιλλης ισχύος δέσμη με ποιότητα M2<1.1 και ενέργεια παλμού 2.5-250μJ.

Using the state-of-the-art highly stable laser diodes as seed lasers allowing parameter flexibility by ultrafast electrical control of pulse duration and repetition rate will a broad range of high-power laser processing application requirements to be met.

This project is an initiative of the Photonics Public Private Partnership ans has receieved funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No.824996.

An extremely stable advanced all-fiber based configuration allow development of a compact ultrashort pulse laser system. A newly designed delivery fiber utilising cutting-edge technology of high purity glass material fabrication will be used to capable of handling the very high power ultra-short pulses, preserving beam quality over several meters distance. Pioneering technology based on 3D nano-imprint lithography will be exploited to produce coherent beam combining optics and fiberfacet-integrated micro-lenses for advanced beam shaping elements to elongate voxels. Together these will provide laser pulse delivery via patented polygon scanner technology capable of handling high-power pulses at speeds of up to 1.5 km/s.

These will enable demonstration in automotive and renewable energy sectors of ultrafast 3D ablation, low-thermal welding of dissimilar metals and faster cost-effective cutting of ultra-hard materials. Exploitation in the form of high-power laser processing systems will immediately follow, benefitting from the unmatched performance data and detailed cost benefit and Investment case analysis performed.
