Research abstract
Optonicus proposes the development of a novel Intelligent High Power (HP) Fiber Laser Tap Coupler (InTAP) for advanced sensing techniques. The InTAP sensing system will provide the capability to measure several key characteristics of HP fiber amplifiers in situ. In Phase I, InTAP prototypes were designed, manufactured, and evaluated at kW laser power levels. In Phase II, Optonicus will develop the fully functioning InTAP fiber tap coupler system that will be delivered for further evaluation. Optonicus will also work with prime contractors in Phase II to commercialize the technology for the Department of Defense and provide its transition to the commercial and defense markets in Phase III.
