Fiber Laser Pulse Source (FLIPS)

Abstract

The Fiber Laser Pulse Source (FLIPS) program evaluated concepts for a compact fiber-based laser system that generates short high-energy pulses, at a high average-power level, (pushing past fundamental limits of existing fiber-based laser amplifiers.) Such a system could enable applications such as remote detection of biological and chemical agents, free space communications, advanced photolithography as well as long-range high-resolution laser-radar systems.
