About this technology

Overview

While both high power and high efficiency laser sources are desired for many applications, limitations on their development and use include power scaling among the many gain materials due to excessive optical intensity. Moreover, as power among many gain elements can be increased, combining the power efficiency has thusfar proven elusive.
