Diamond - Extreme Material for Nonlinear Optics and Raman Lasers
Hosted By: Laser Systems Technical Group
15 November 2016 16:00 - 17:00
Eastern Time (US & Canada) (UTC -05:00)Diamond is an optical material with a suite of properties that are set well apart from most others. Its recent availability in large, high quality, synthesized crystals is bringing forth important opportunities to tackle major challenges in optics. In this webinar hosted by the OSA Laser Systems Technical Group, Dr. Richard Mildren of Macquarie University will provide an introduction to the optical properties of diamond (linear, nonlinear and thermo-optical). Dr. Mildren will then present a detailed description about some of diamond's more outstanding properties and how these are stimulating development of advanced laser-based technologies, such as high power lasers and nonlinear frequency converters.
What You Will Learn in the Webinar:
- Detailed understanding of the contrasting nature of diamond against more familiar optical materials
- Design issues for developing diamond optical devices and in particular diamond lasers
- Features of diamond that are likely to impact on the future development of optics
Who Should Attend the Webinar:
- Research Students
- Researchers
- Professionals in Industry, Government
