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 fourorders of magnitude relaxed at these wavelengths compared to the fiber laser emitting at around 1 micrometer that are now commonly in ude. The project addresses expected demands for key components for laser devices in this so called „eye-safe“ specvtral region that are actually of increasing importance. Tha aim of the project is realization and fabrication technology development of industrial samples of several fiber-optic components. Namely, teh project deal with the following fiber-optic components: combiners of multimode pump with singlemode signal at wavelength of 2 micrometers,wavelength division multiplexer (1.6/2 micrometers), broadband fiber coupler and taps at eavelength of 2 mocrometers.
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.
