Grant: Research Tools and Instruments - Category 1 (<$150,000)
Carleton University
$137,437.00
Deep UV laser for photoinduced photonic components
FY 2010-11
Summary
The program of the Canada Research Chair in Advanced Photonic components at Carleton University is entirely based on the realization of novel optical devices made from optical fibers and waveguides. These devices are used to monitor vibrations in bridges, oil and gas extraction wells and pipelines, as well as to detect minute quantities of chemicals in human beings or the environment. Our approach to fabricate these devices is to irradiate fibers and waveguides with complex patterns of very intense ultraviolet laser light. The high energy laser system proposed here is ideally suited for this purpose and will allow us to pursue our work over the next decade.
