A SBIR Phase I contract was awarded to Advalue Photonics in June, 2019 for $148,900.0 USD from the U.S. Department of Defense and United States Air Force.
Over the past several years, AdValue Photonics has developed a proprietary fiber laser technology, enabling >1mJ pulse energy generation of transform-limited-linewidth laser pulses from all-fiber-format robust laser systems at multiple wavelength bands (1ï�m, 1.55ï�m, and 2ï�m). In this SBIR program, we will develop an eye-safe all-fiber laser illuminator for coherent 3D imaging and vibration imaging, which will be able to emit well-tailored laser pulses of transform-limited linewidth with >1mJ of pulse energy at a rep rate of > 10kHz. A the end of this SBIR program, we’ll demonstrate an eye-safe all-fiber mJ-pulse-energy laser illuminator with a maximum average output power more than 20W.
