From instability to order via dispersive light matter interaction

From instability to order via dissipative light matter interaction 
 
In this project, a new method is explored for enhancing the quality of laser beams in optical fibers, more specifically, improving the stability of beams with an unstable transverse intensity distribution. Additionally, fundamental power limitations will be investigated. This will enable high-power fiber lasers at arbitrary wavelengths, desirable for applications within industrial manufacturing and biological imaging. The grant funds two PhD students, one postdoc, and equipment.
