Project Title:
355 nm Laser Design for Atmospheric
Measurements
Technical Abstract (Limit 200 words)
Development of a 355 nm, 300 mJ pulsed diode
pumped laser which is efficient, relaible, rugged and
compact is a non-trivial issue. It requires that many
preliminary issues be studied carefully such that the
proper design choices are made. For example, the
3rd harmonic materials themselves need to be
studied carefully for proper selection.
CEO will develop the design for this important
laser.
Potential Commercial Applications (Limit 200 words)
There are enormous potential applications.
Viurtually any firm that is interested in cutting or
drilling and also has the concern that the cuts/holes
be very a high quality finish free of burrs or jagged
edges will be interested. One of these commercial
applications is for laminar flow. Titanium materials
require many thousands of very small holes. This is
done with a high power, high rep rate laser which
drills numerous holes at one time.
