SubsidieMeestersUltrafast 2.1µm Holmium Lasers for GHz ablation
This project aims to validate the market potential of a novel femtosecond laser operating at 2-3 µm, offering high power and short pulse durations for diverse applications.
Projectdetails
Introduction
Femtosecond lasers are ubiquitous tools in science and industry, their widespread applications aided by their increasingly wide commercial availability. However, most femtosecond lasers operate at a wavelength of around 1 µm, which hinders many potential new uses.
Market Interest in Longer Wavelengths
In the last years, there has been an increased interest in longer wavelengths, in particular the wavelength region between 2-3 µm. However, only very few laser systems exist in the laser market at these wavelengths.
Potential Applications
This wavelength region has large potential for many fields, including:
- Material processing
- Laser surgery
- Gas sensing
Additionally, it is valuable in a variety of scientific applications, such as spectroscopy.
Project Proposal
In this project, we propose to explore the market potential of a femtosecond laser system based on a new laser gain material demonstrated in the context of our ERC St.G Project. This system operates in the 2-3 µm wavelength region with record high average power and short pulse durations.
Unique Parameters and Market Validation
The unique parameter set this laser offers at this wavelength has the potential to disrupt material processing applications. This project aims at validating the potential of the laser for this market.
