Description

NP Photonics proposes to develop a compact high-power mid-wave infrared laser system by taking advantage of its substantial capability and experience in mid-wave infrared fibers and fiber lasers. The proposed mid-wave infrared laser system has the advantages of high-efficiency, high power scalability, high beam quality, and broad spectral coverage. In the Phase I program, we will investigate the feasibility and study the risk of developing a mid-wave infrared laser system based on our unique optical fibers. In Phase II, a 100-W high-power laser source covering 3.5-4.1 micron and 4.6-4.9 micron sub-bands will be developed and delivered.
