ABSTRACT

In "standard" diode pumped solid state lasers designs, a large number of optical components like a pump laser diode, a laser crystal, mirrors, lenses, wavelength selective elements and a non-linear crystal have to be mounted to an optical base plate, which has to be mounted to a relatively large TEC to guaranty long term stability and proper operation. Combining JDSU's industry unique telecom and optics expertise in single-mode laser diodes, packaging and fiber coupling of single-mode structures and optical coatings together with periodically-poled non-linear crystals enables a new design for visible CWSS lasers based on JDSU's Frequency Converted Diode (FCD) technology.

BIO

Dr. Leonard Marabella is a Director of Product Marketing for JDSU, and is responsible for Q-switched ultraviolet lasers, CW visible lasers, fiber lasers, and gas lasers. Dr. Marabella received his Ph.D. in Chemical Physics from Indiana University in 1972. After being a postdoctoral research associate at MIT for two years, he was an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at Boston College for a year. He then worked at Hughes Aircraft from 1974-1981, primarily focusing on the development of chemical lasers. From 1981-2002, he worked at TRW, and his work included development of tunable semiconductor and ultraviolet lasers, as well as a wide range of R&D projects on electro optic and photonic devices. Since 2002, he has worked for JDSU, primarily working on industrial lasers including diode-pumped solid state and fiber lasers. Dr. Marabella has been a board member of the Laser and Electro-optics Manufacturers' Association for the last 10 years, and was a board member of the Laser Institute of America from 1996-1998. He also was president of the South Bay Chamber Music Society from 1997-2002.
