Research abstract
PLEX Corporation will demonstrate a highly efficient laser emitting light at 1100nm in the near infrared. Technical issues in laser design will be resolved in Phase I, with a full lasing test experiment in Phase 2. This laser candidate has potentially a 25% electrical efficiency and can, in principle, be scaled to high power levels. Cutting and welding applications are foreseen in the industrial environment, where the sodium mercury excimer could replace the current industry standard, the carbon dioxide laser.
