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.
IPE carries out fundamental and applied research in the scientific fields of photonics, optoelectronics and electronics. In these fields, IPE generates new knowledge and develops new technologies.
