Advanced Laser Laboratory

Advanced Laser Laboratory is a joint TRUMPF Lasers UK (formerly SPI Lasers) and Optoelectronics Research Center (ORC) lab. The group is led by Dr C Codemard (TRUMPF) and Professor M N Zervas (ORC), embedded in the ORC, addressing fundamental fibre laser research issues.

About

Advanced Laser Laboratory has a very broad range of interests and activities within the high-power fibre laser area and has close links with other research groups and laboratories within the ORC and industry.

Our research is focused on the underlying laser physics to allow extended functionality and improved performance of pulsed and CW industrial fibre lasers. We develop disruptive fibre laser technologies for the next generation of high-power manufacturing tools.

Current research themes

Advanced concepts for scaling output power in fibre lasers and amplifiers
Novel fibre architectures for scaling core area and brightness enhancement
Novel fibre architecture for high-efficiency laser
Novel fibre concepts for agile laser beam delivery and in-fibre beam shaping
New concepts for pulsed fibre sources
Novel fibres (active and passive) and material characterization
