Looking for a new fiber amplifier? Prof. Raman Kashyap has your solution!
Raman is a “serial inventor”; he has almost 15 active projects at Univalor and I’ve stopped to count how many patents…You probably remember his photocello? It was recently presented, in French, in the business Quebecer newspaper “Les Affaires”. Prof. Kashyap is a specialist of advanced photonics and optoelectronics systems and has recently thought a new scheme which permits to considerably increase the output power of a fiber amplifier. And it works; simulation results have demonstrated that it can reach quite easily multi-kW.
The secret? The amplification takes place in the doped fiber cladding and not in the core like in usual systems.
This invention is now protected with an US provisional patent application and we’re currently seeking partners to finish its development and commercialize it.
