DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): We propose to develop an entirely new broadband light source optimized for high-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT). We propose to develop and refine techniques for manipulating the superluminescence properties of diode-pumped Ytterbuim-doped fiber… More

In this Phase II proposal Azna corporation proposes the development of a high power (16W), highly efficient (27% wall plug efficiency) communications amplifier which operates near 1560 nm. We present a development path towards improving the current state of the art for diode pumped high power fiber… More

AZNA proposes a gain-switched Tm-doped fiber laser to generate flexible waveforms in the mid-IR spectral region. The proposal uses the most recent advances in high power fiber lasers and amplifiers to achieve high efficiency and high power. Generation of stable and reliable waveforms is achieved… More

Here we propose a compact tunable transmitter based on Azna's established directly modulated chirp managed laser (CMLT) technology that exceeds LaserComm requirements. The transmitter comprises a tunable directly modulated semiconductor laser and a passive optical spectrum reshaping filter. The… More
