HALIDE - MegaWatt Pulsed Eyesafe Laser Technology to Disrupt and Expand Global Cleaning Markets

卤化物项目通过开发改变游戏规则的激光技术来应对实现清洁增长的全球挑战，该技术将完全颠覆工业激光清洁市场，并使激光清洁技术能够在公共可进入的空间内使用。该项目将提供比商业最先进水平高10倍的功率，该项目将开发新型光纤和兆瓦，脉冲高功率激光器将使英国制造业独一无二地处于高增长激光清洗市场的前沿。卤化物项目将展示在眼睛安全的激光波长下提供功率和脉冲能量性能的能力，与现有的1064 nm(非眼睛安全)激光清洗工具来源相当。该项目将进一步展示有能力利用现有的1064 nm系统实现15xxnm激光的成本平价，但开发掺铒光纤的批量制造工艺。项目合作伙伴将通过向潜在客户和投资者建立一个紧凑、便携、眼睛安全的激光清洗工具技术演示器来展示这一能力。

The HALIDE project addresses the global challenge to achieve clean-growth by developing game-changing laser technology that will totally disrupt industrial laser-cleaning markets and enable use of laser-cleaning technology within publicly-accessible spaces.Providing 10X power increases over commercial state-of-art, the project will develop novel optical fibres and MegaWatt, pulsed high-power lasers that will uniquely position UK manufacturing at the forefront of high-growth laser-cleaning markets.The HALIDE project will demonstrate ability to deliver power and pulse energy performance at eye-safe laser wavelengths that are comparable to existing 1064nm (none-eye-safe) laser-cleaning tool sources.The project will further demonstrate ability to achieve cost-parity for 15xxnm lasers with existing 1064nm systems but developing volume-manufacturing processes for Erbium-doped fibres.The project partners will demonstrate this ability through building a compact, portable, eye-safe laser-cleaning tool technology demonstrator to potential customers and investors.
