SBIR/STTR Award attributes
Compact and robust fiber pigtailed high power diode-pumped solid-state lasers are in great demand for wideband radio-frequency photonics applications. As a lead company in single-frequency fiber lasers in the world, NP Photonics proposes to develop miniature high power high stability single-frequency fiber lasers by using our proprietary fiber laser technology and compact packaging capability. During the Phase I program, we have successfully demonstrated many of the key elements of the proposed miniature single-frequency fiber lasers with mechanical and electrical designs and substantial experimental results. In Phase II, we will focus on improving the electrical and mechanical design and fabrication for miniature single-diode pumped single-frequency fiber lasers at 1.55 micron and 1.06 micron and manufacturing miniature prototypes at the two wavelengths. In Phase II Option 2, we will focus on manufacturing miniature two-diode pumped prototypes meeting or exceeding the requirements of the Navy’s applications.
