This week we installed four of our amplifier systems for satellite uplinks and deep space communication at a customer site in the US. The large mode area amplifier systems will
At this year’s ICSO, the International Conference on Space Optics in Antibes, France, we presented our new high-power fiber amplifier for satellite uplinks and deep space communications. Konstantin Holzner, the
The ALASCA (Advanced Laser Communication System Analysis) project, coordinated by the European Space Agency (ESA) with the support of ESO, the European Southern Observatory, aims to develop a robust, high-throughput
How many laptops can fit into a standard shipping container? We tried to find out during another week of on-sky measurements in La Palma (see our previous experimental run here)
Our first results with a frequency chirped laser in La Palma were published in MNRAS. For these tests we used the experimental “Wendelstein” laser unit from ESO, which was limited
Last week one could admire an additional star over Ottobeuren, where we carried out basic experiments at the Volkssternwarte (public observatory). The aim was to increase the fluorescence of the
PRO’s long-standing background collaboration with the Furukawa subsidiary OFS is bearing its first commercial fruits. The first system of the new Raman fiber laser series (RFL) has just been delivered
Together with ESO we performed on-sky tests of new technologies to boost the efficiency of laser excitation of atmospheric sodium atoms. For these experiments we are using the experimental “Wendelstein”
The Optical Society (OSA) has awarded the Guide Star Alliance of TOPTICA and MPBC with the 2017 Paul F. Forman Team Engineering Excellence Award. We received the award on Sept.
