NASA Uses Apollo Instruments' Laser Diode Modules to Profile Atmospheric Water Vapor
A compact, lightweight, and efficient fiber laser lidar system has been developed to measure water vapor profiles in the lower atmosphere of Earth or Mars. The line narrowed laser consist of a Tm:germanate fiber pumped by two 792nm diode arrays. The fiber laser transmits ~0:5mJ Q- switched pulses at 5 Hz
and can be tuned to water vapor lines near 1:94 µmwith linewidth of ~20pm. A lightweight lidar receiver telescope was constructed of carbon epoxy fiber with a 30cm Fresnel lens and an advanced HgCdTe APD detector. This system has made preliminary atmospheric measurements. [read more]

Colorado School of Mines Uses Apollo's Fiber-Coupled Module and Focusing Optic to Perform Multifocal Nonlinear Microscopy
The department of Physics at Colorado School of Mines presented a novel Yb:KGd(WO4)2 oscillator design that generates six beams of temporally delayed, 253 fs, 11 nJ pulses. This allows multifocal nonlinear microscopy to be performed without the need for complicated optical multiplexers. The design was demonstrated with twelve simultaneously acquired two-photon, second-harmonic and/or thirdharmonic images generated from six laterally separated foci. [read more] |

Brightness Over 2 MW/cm Achieved
Following the success of breaking 1 Mega Watt cm-2 sr-1, Apollo scientists made another record in the development of fiber-coupled laser devices.
The new record of 2.4 Mega Watt cm-2 sr-1 was well demonstrated and the new development has been under optimization for commercialization.
"High brightness devices are highly demanded for some fiber laser R&D activities" said Peter Wang, Marketing Manager of Apollo Instruments, "We should have these new series of products available to the users soon."
Even with over 1 Mega Watt cm-2 sr-1, Apollo Instruments has demonstrated the possibility of direct marking on the surface of stainless steel or aluminum by focusing the high brightness output of the fiber.
Apollo is currently conducting research for high power, high brightness devices under a contract awarded by the Department of Defense. |
