ACCES-LS

GTS将开发一种先进的玻璃基激光棒设计，与当前的传感器技术相比，在尺寸、重量和功率要求方面大幅降低，成本降低50%以下。激光玻璃的热导率约为YAG晶体棒的7%，因为这种常规玻璃激光棒在连续使用期间经历过度加热，导致热透镜效应和对涂层的损坏，限制玻璃对于给定重复率/激光器设计的较低功率输出。ACCES-LS是一款“高级复合材料包芯人眼安全激光系统”，它提高了激光棒的导热性，使性能发生了飞跃性变化，有可能彻底改变人眼安全成像市场。

GTS will develop an advanced glass-based laser rod design, offering significant reductions in size, weight & power requirements compared to current sensor technology at <50% the cost. The thermal conductivity of laser glass is ~7% of a YAG crystal rod, as such conventional glass laser rods experience excessive heating during continuous use, leading to thermal lensing effects & damage to coatings, restricting glass to lower power outputs for given repetition rates/laser designs. The ‘Advanced Composite Core-clad Eye-Safe Laser System’, ACCES-LS improves the thermal conductivity of the laser rod, offering a step change in performance, with potential to revolutionise the eye-safe imaging market.
