- Description
- TECHNOLOGY/BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY Zig-Zag Nd:Glass Laser Opportunity: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), operated by the University of California under contract with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), is offering the opportunity to license and commercialize its Zig-Zag Nd:Glass Laser System technology. Background: The Laser Systems Group at LLNL has developed a high energy, high average power solid state laser system capable of performing production rate laser shot peening. Description: LLNL?s system consists of one or more flashlamp-pumped Nd:glass zig-zag amplifiers, a very low threshold stimulated-Brillouin-scattering (SBS) phase conjugator system, and a free-running single frequency Nd:YLF master oscillator. Advantages: The LLNL system is the only laser in existence with the energy, peak and average power required for production applications of this process. Completely passive polarization switching provides eight amplifier gain passes. Multiple frequency output can be generated by using SBS cells having different pressures of a gaseous SBS medium or different SBS materials. Potential Applications: LLNL?s long pulse, low divergence, narrow-bandwidth, multi-frequency output laser system with its high average power and high beam quality has an unique application in pumping another laser. Development Status: LLNL has issued patents covering its Zig-Zag Nd:Glass Laser System technology: U.S. Patent Nos. 5,239,408, 5,689,363, and 6,385,228. LLNL is seeking industry partners with a demonstrated ability to bring such inventions to the market. Moving critical technology beyond the Laboratory to the commercial world helps our licensees gain a competitive edge in the marketplace. All licensing activities are conducted under policies relating to the strict nondisclosure of company proprietary information. Please visit the IPAC website at http://www.llnl.gov/IPandC/workwithus/partneringprocess.php for more information on working with LLNL and the industrial partnering and technology transfer process. Note: THIS IS NOT A PROCUREMENT. Companies interested in commercializing LLNL's Zig-Zag Nd:Glass Laser System technology should provide a written statement of interest, which includes the following: 1. Company Name and address. 2. The name, address, and telephone number of a point of contact. 3. A description of corporate expertise and facilities relevant to commercializing this technology. Written responses should be directed to: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory Industrial Partnerships and Commercialization P.O. Box 808, L-795 Livermore, CA 94551-0808 Attention: FBO 147-07 Please provide your written statement within thirty (30) days from the date this announcement is published to ensure consideration of your interest in LLNL's Zig-zag Nd:Glass Laser technology.
