This is based on the large Yb<sup>3+<\/sup> bandwidth in previously developed CNGG crystals, typically FWHM= 23.5 nm (or 221 cm<sup>-1<\/sup>), along with an optical absorption three times more efficient than in YAG, which promises thinner disks with better cooling. The productivity of laser material processing and monitoring in various fields will be greatly improved by a laser module with the characteristics described above. Just to mention some few examples: In photovoltaic silicon cell processing for CO2-free energy harvesting, surface texture free of chemical wastes will be possible. Polymeric soft transparent materials, extensively used in biomedical health care, can be welded and mechanically processed with \u03bb\u2248 2 \u00b5m laser equipment. LIDAR systems incorporating increased high power lasers and repetition rates will have longer penetration depths and better spatial resolution. Overall, the development of high power\u2013high repletion rate lasers with ultrashort pulse duration will provide new tools for improving the wellness of the population through routes that are compatible with a sustainable and green manufacturing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cValorisation of CaNbGa garnets as thin disk elements in high power, high-rate, ultrashort pulsed laser oscillators (THINLAS)\u201d project has been granted for the period 01\/12\/2022 to 30\/11\/2024.
