We are the world’s leading research group in developing pulsed fibre lasers since they were first demonstrated in the mid-1980s. Our research focuses on:
A pulsed fibre laser is a type of laser that emits high intensity light pulses in a short burst mode (typically ranging from fs to ns) and uses optical fibres as a laser gain medium. It can produce extremely high peak powers, which is very useful in variety of material processing, micromachining, laser surgery, and scientific applications.
The pulses emitted by a pulsed fibre laser can be generated using a variety of techniques, including Q-switching, gain-switching, and mode-locking and it has various attractive features, including:
