Efficient Diode-Pumped Cr:LiSAF Laser for Diverse Applications

A highly-efficient, Cr-activated, directly diode-pumped laser offering broad tunability in the near infra-red Spectrum. This innovative Cr:LiSAF crystal development by VLOC in Florida boasts high-quality, damage-resistant laser material with various optical capabilities. Marketed for industrial, medical, environmental, and research sectors, it is adaptable for noninvasive surgery and lidar systems. Commercialization targets expanding markets with an annual sales projection exceeding $250,000. Contact Greg Quarles at Langley Research Center for more details.
