| Abstract: |
Based on our success in developing the world first commercial 100 micro Joule femtosecond fiber laser system and our leading technology development in ultrashort pulsed fiber laser, PolarOnyx proposes an all fiber based high energy ultrashort fiber laser to meet with the requirement of the solicitation N103-210. Issues of nonlinear evolution, dispersion management and TOD compensation have been identified and solutions are proposed. A tabletop experiment of 1 uJ energy < 1 ps will be demonstrated in Phase I time frame for proof of the concept. A prototype of >5 uJ will be delivered in Phase II.

| Benefits: |
The proposed high energy fs fiber laser can be used in many military applications, such as space, aircraft, and satellite applications of LADAR systems and communications, IRCM, laser weapons, and target designation and illumination. PolarOnyx will develop a series of products to meet various requirements for military deployments.
With successful development of the laser, the technology proposed by PolarOnyx will provide a vital tool to solve the existing and potential issues and merge with the huge markets including
Material processing. This includes (1) all types of metal processing such as welding, cutting, annealing, and drilling; (2)semiconductor and microelectronics manufacturing such as lithography, inspection, control, defect analysis and repair, and via drilling; (3) marking of all materials including plastic, metals, and silicon; (4) other materials processing such as rapid prototyping, desk top manufacturing, micromachining, photofinishing, embossed holograms, and grating manufacturing.
Medical equipment and biomedical instrumentation. The high power amplifier/laser can be applied to ophthalmology, refractive surgery, photocoagulation, general surgery, therapeutic, imaging, and cosmetic applications. Biomedical instruments include those involved in cells or proteins, cytometry, and DNA sequencing; laser Raman spectroscopy, spectrofluorimetry, and ablation; and laser based microscopes.
