The current CRD grant application targets a two years collaborative effort in between McGill University and ITF technologies towards the development of improved specialty laser sources that will benefit the Canadian industry. The first topic consists in reducing the optical noise on a low duty-cycle fiber laser for LIDAR applications. The second topic consists in increasing the output power of a high-power fiber laser for manufacturing processes. Both partners bring their own complementary expertise on the fabrication of fiber lasers and supporting materials for the success of the project. In addition to their technical and financial contributions, the industrial partners at ITF Technologies are well aware of the needs of the laser market and thus provide important feedback on the orientation of the project. At McGill University, this project will position the research effort at the forefront of fiber laser market needs, thus with high potential for intellectual property and training students with unique expertise. Two MEng students, two BEng research students and two part-time PhD students will be trained in the context of the project, leading to highly qualified personnel specialized in fiber laser technologies.

目前的CRD拨款申请的目标是麦吉尔大学和ITF技术之间为期两年的合作努力，以开发改进的特种激光源，这将使加拿大工业受益。第一个主题是在激光雷达应用中降低低占空比光纤激光器的光噪声。第二个主题包括提高用于制造过程的高功率光纤激光器的输出功率。双方在光纤激光器的制造和支持材料方面都有各自的专业知识，为项目的成功提供了支持。除了技术和财政方面的贡献外，ITF技术公司的工业伙伴也非常了解激光市场的需要，因此对项目的方向提供了重要的反馈意见。在麦吉尔大学，该项目将把研究工作定位在光纤激光器市场需求的前沿，因此具有很高的知识产权潜力，并培养具有独特专业知识的学生。本项目将培养两名孟学生、两名BEng研究生和两名兼职博士生，培养光纤激光技术的高素质人才。
