Dear all,
The final ISLA newsletter, containing a summary of the recent project achievements, is now available from the project website.
The highlights include:
• Thulium fibres with 70% slope efficiency at >100 W output
• Holmium fibres with 75% slope efficiency
• Amplitude modulators and tuneable filters
• Fibre-coupled isolators, […]
The ISLA workshop event (Munich, FRI 26-Jun-2015) was fully booked, and proved highly successful. The day began with a summary of the progress made in the project, followed by a series of presentations from expert guest speakers on applications for two micron lasers. The quality of presentations was exceptional. The ISLA consortium would like to thank all the […]
Dear all,
There has been an excellent response to the ISLA workshop invitations, and preparations are well under way.
There will be a range of presentations on the progress made in 2 um fibre laser component hardware by the ISLA partners, including Tm- and Ho-fibres (ORC), passive and active components (G&H), graphene modelockers (TCD) and […]
The details of the ISLA workshop in June are being finalised, and the agenda is almost complete.
This free event will be held in Munich on FRI 26-Jun-2015, the day following the Laser World of Photonics exhibition.
Details will be released soon. The event will be split into two sessions with a variety of speakers […]
Dear all,
The ISLA project will finish in the summer of 2015. We will be holding a final workshop on the day following the Laser World of Photonics congress and exhibition (http://www.world-of-photonics.com).
I.e FRI 26-Jun-2015 (Munich, Germany).
Please save the date!
We hope that if you are attending the World of […]
G&H received a notable prize recently: its “Fiber-Q” product won the IOP Award for Innovation. As the press release states:
“Gooch & Housego are proud to announce that the Fiber-Q was given the prestigious Institute of Physics (IOP) Award for Innovation at a ceremony at the London based Institute in October. The award winning […]
The ISLA project is in its demonstration phase, and there are opportunities for interested in 2 um fibre lasers.
There are components, including optical isolators and fused fibre combiners, which could be available to external organisations for testing.
If you are interested, please get in touch!
Likewise, we would be pleased to hear from […]
Dear all,
The ISLA newsletter #5 has been released, with items on high power testing of Gooch & Housego isolators and combiners, modelocker development at Trinity College Dublin and rare earth fibre fabrication at Southampton ORC.
And we are still on the look-out for end users interested in 2 um fibre lasers!
Please get in […]
ISLA is now in its final year, and has entered the demonstration phase.
The consortium has decided to use real industrial applications to test the ISLA two micron fibre lasers on representative commercial operations.
We will be contacting several organisations that have made both suggestions for testing and offers to supply parts for the demonstration.
