Facebook X LinkedIn Email
SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 27, 2015 — Shasta Crystals Inc. has received $150,000 in government funding to explore materials for high-power fiber lasers. The phase I small business innovation research (SBIR) grant from the U.S. Army and Department of Defense will enable the company to perform research into the feasibility of growing and cladding doped YAG fibers of sufficient quality to improve fiber laser performance. "Single-crystal fibers can act as an intermediate between laser crystals and doped-glass fibers to guide laser light with the efficiencies found in bulk crystals," said CEO Gisele Maxwell. "Our goal is...Read full article
