Compact and robust fiber pigtailed high power diode-pumped solid-state lasers are in great demand for wideband radio-frequency photonics applications. As a leading company in single-frequency fiber lasers worldwide, 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. In the Phase I program, we will demonstrate the feasibility of developing a diode-pumped single-frequency fiber laser oscillator at 1.55 microns with output power > 400 mW and improved packaging. Compact and robust fiber lasers at 1.06 microns and 1.55 microns meeting or exceeding the requirements of the Navy’s applications will be developed in Phase II.
