Project number:

The project is focused at applied research and experimental development of fiber-optic components for laser devices operating in spectral region around 2 micrometers. The risk of retina damage in the human eye is more than four orders of magnitude relaxed at these wavelengths compared to the fiber laser emitting at around 1 micrometer that are now commonly in use. The project addresses expected demands for key components for laser devices in this so-called “eye-safe” spectral region that are actually of increasing importance. The aim of the project is realization and fabrication technology development of industrial samples of several fiber-optic components. Namely, the project deal with the following fiber-optic components: combiners of multimode pumpwith singlemode signal at wavelength of 2 micrometers, wavelength division multiplexers (1.6/2 micrometers), broadband fiber couplers and taps at wavelength of 2 micrometers.
