TECHNOLOGY/BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY Optimized Placement of Quartz Rotators in Reverser and Other Solutions to Mitigating Thermal Depolarization

offering the opportunity to enter into a collaboration to further develop and commercialize its Optimized Placement of Quartz Rotators in Reverser and Other Solutions to Mitigating Thermal Depolarization. Background: Depolarization of laser optical components from thermal stress remains a major lim

itation in high-average-power laser amplifiers. Non-uniform thermal gradients induce mechanical stresses and birefringence. If left uncompensated, laser performance degrades�in power/energy, repetition rate, beam quality, coherence and may
