Development of a highly efficient and miniaturized femtosecond fiber-laser system at kHz repetition rates

Abstract (German)

Development of a compact and low-power consuming femtosecond fiber-laser cavity at kHz repetition rates. We plan to operate the cavity in a stable Q-switched mode-locking regime that allows to generate high energetic laser-pulses at kHz repetition rates directly inside the cavity. The design allows to build a compact and portable laser system, which is suited for a variety of commercial applications, e.g. laser mass spectrometry, laser marking, ophthalmology and 3D printing. The economic partner is IONIGHT, whose core business is laser mass spectrometry.
