Periodic-dispersive photonic components for control of spectral, spatial and temporal characteristics of laser diode radiation (FP6-032482)
The main aim of this project is the development of low cost, mass
production technology for optical components based on volume Bragg
gratings in advanced photorefractive materials that control the spatial
and temporal coherence of laser diode radiation. As a result, a new
generation of diode lasers with a very narrow line width and high
spatial coherence will be developed and commercialised. As a logical
continuation, the second aim is the integration of nonlinear crystals
with periodic domain inversion. These will enable the efficient
frequency conversion of the high brightness, narrow band laser diode
radiation by means of second harmonic generation. This new generation
of lasers will find many new applications in different markets.
