Research abstract
This project is to develop low loss bi-directional fiber tap couplers for high power fiber laser weapon systems with long term power handling beyond 1kW per channel, which can be integrated with Ytterbium ~1064nm and Thulium ~2000nm fiber laser systems. In Phase I, we will design a kilowatt capable fiber optic tap coupler and packaging for large mode area double clad fiber as well as photonic crystal and photonic band gap gain fibers. Criteria for the design includes bi-directional power handling capability, polarization, phase and path length pick-off with robust packaging.
