- Description
- Sandia National Laboratories seeks partners for commercializing a proprietary fiber optic technology which enables power-dependent selective transmission of optical pulses. The passive all-fiber invention has potential applications in nanosecond, picosecond, and femtosecond pulsed fiber lasers, including fiber lasers and fiber amplifiers for machining and medical applications. The invention can function similarly to a saturable absorber for use in passive mode locking, but can also function as a power limiter, or isolator to reduce negative effects of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) and detrimental pre/post pulse effects in amplified fiber laser systems, and may provide cost savings and improved reliability and manufacturability compared to previous solutions. It is anticipated that commercial licenses may, on a competitive basis, grant exclusive rights in pre-negotiated, defined fields of use for reasonable consideration to qualified interested parties. Partnerships to commercialize this technology may also take the form of Cooperative Research and Development Agreements (CRADAs) or nonexclusive commercial licenses. Sandia National Laboratories is a multiprogram laboratory managed and operated by Sandia Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Lockheed Martin Company, for the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration under Contract DE-AC04-94AL85000. SAND# 2010-8378P For further information, contact Dan Allen at Sandia National Laboratories by email, dgallen@sandia.gov, phone, 505-284-6752, or FAX, 505-284-2132. Keywords: fiber optic, nanosecond, picosecond, femtosecond, pulsed laser, isolator, saturable absorber, fiber laser, high power laser, mode locked laser, medical laser, laser machining
