The FBH will present the latest results from their project
CryoLaser at CLEO 2013. CryoLaser has been selected as a “hot topic” for the
central press event at the renowned technical conference in San Jose, USA.
High energy laser applications of the future: these are the
target of current diode laser research at the Ferdinand-Braun-Institut,
Leibniz-Institut für Höchstfrequenztechnik (FBH). World-wide, teams of
scientists and technologists are working on a new generation of ultra-high
energy lasers. These are tools for basic science, for novel medical
applications and, not least, for laser-induced fusion. Large facilities that
make use of this technology could in future ensure clean, highly efficient
energy supplies for all mankind. Ultra-high power laser systems require diode
lasers that are not just extremely capable, but also manufacturable at low
costs in very high volumes.
