Growth of Large KDP and KD*P Crystals to Support ICF Lasers (Invited Paper)
In Person: Tuesday, 28 January 2025 • 09:30 AM - 10:00 AM (PST) | Moscone South, Room 76 (Lower Mezz)
 
Dr. Matt Whittaker is the crystal growth manager at Gooch & Housego Ohio. He is responsible for growth and fabrication of large crystal optics of KDP and KD*P. He is also responsible for growth of Lithium Niobate, Tellurium Dioxide, BBO and bulk II-VI compounds.
 
Review the history of the development of the growth of large crystals of KDP and KD*P over the last 50 years to enable large aperture Pockels cells and frequency conversion optics to support lasers for inertial confinement fusion. Review current state of the art, and what will be required to continue advances.

100W C-band Amplifiers for Tbit/s Satellite Links: EPOS Project
In Person: Thursday, 30 January 2025 • 11:50 AM - 12:10 PM (PST) | Moscone Center, Room 208 (Level 2 South)
 
Dr. Stratos Kehayas is the President of the Photonics Division at G&H. In this paper, G&H presents work on the development of extremely high-power optical fibre amplifiers in the 1.5µm window for Tbit/s satellite links that will enable next generation optical satellite communications. The EPOS development project focuses on creating a 100W optical amplifier for space and a 1000W amplifier system for ground use. Within this paper, a range of experimental and simulation results are presented which include, FWM crosstalk, and gain flatness under WDM operation, nonlinear polarization rotation under intensity modulation and power limits of ErYb fibres induced by parasitic lasing at 1µms.
