Zaber Technologies's business is founded on the development and manufacture of precision positioning devicesused in a wide variety of applications and markets including photonics and optics, life sciences, microscopy,and industrial automation. In an effort to enhance their product lines, Zaber would like to create a linear stagewith an embedded laser based interferometer to provide a much higher level of accuracy and precision.Because no commercially viable laser source exists for this application, this research proposal is aimed atinvestigating the creation of a new special-purpose laser designed for this application. Specifically, we willdesign a diode pumped solid state laser, commission its fabrication, and test the final product characterizing itssuitability for Zaber's application. This will include a full characterization of the spectral output, frequencystability, tunability, reliability and reproducibility.

Zaber Technologies的业务建立在精密定位设备的开发和制造上，这些设备用于各种应用和市场，包括光子学和光学、生命科学、显微镜和工业自动化。Zaber公司希望通过嵌入式激光干涉仪来创建一个线性平台，以提高精度和精度。由于目前没有商业上可行的激光源用于该应用，因此本研究计划旨在研究创建一种新的专用激光器。具体来说，我们将设计一个二极管泵浦的固体激光器，委托其制造，并测试最终产品的特点，其适用于Zaber的应用。这将包括频谱输出、频率稳定性、可调谐性、可靠性和再现性的全面表征。
