Energy-sources of the future: novel diode lasers for ultra-high power laser applications
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. The FBH are currently optimizing both the necessary design and technology, as a part of the Leibniz project, CryoLaser.
