Ytterbium-doped fibre amplifier
Southampton research pioneering high-power ytterbium-doped silica fibre lasers and amplifiers has enabled new high-energy manufacturing processes with a controlled carbon footprint.
Commercialisation of crystal laser technologies
Our fundamental research is having a widespread impact on laser, defence and display industries through development of wavelength conversion crystals that can transform the colour of laser light.
