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

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

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.
