Supercontinuum Fiber Lasers

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
SOUTHAMPTON, UK and EUGENE, Ore. Oct. 14, 2008 – A consortium led by ultrafast fiber laser manufacturer Fianium Ltd., is to develop and evaluate advanced white-light (supercontinuum) fiber lasers for biomedical imaging applications. The $3.6 million "WhiteLase" project is co-funded by the UK Technology Strategy Board and brings together Fianium, the Centre for Photonics and Photonic Materials (CPPM) at the University of Bath and Edinburgh Instruments Ltd. The project aims to deliver UV-content supercontinuum sources and ultrabright visible supercontinuum sources and evaluate the technology within fluorescence imaging applications. The...Read full article

    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
    supercontinuum
    Supercontinuum refers to a broad spectrum of light that spans a wide range of wavelengths, typically from the visible to the near-infrared or even mid-infrared regions of the electromagnetic spectrum. This phenomenon occurs when intense laser light is coupled into a nonlinear optical medium, such as a photonic crystal fiber or a nonlinear crystal. The process of supercontinuum generation involves nonlinear effects such as self-phase modulation, stimulated Raman scattering, and four-wave...
