Funded Activity Summary

Investigating spatio-temporal instabilities in next-generation lasers. This project aims to decipher the transient spatio-temporal dynamics of lasers with an emphasis on investigating chaotic instabilities whose fundamental laws are unknown and whose effects impair laser performance in applications with a billion-dollar aggregate value. This project seeks to solve the problem by unravelling the evolving beam's structure on picosecond timescales using an optical device that dissects the beam in space and time. The expected outcome is a suite of tools capable of guiding global efforts to develop next-generation lasers. The discoveries would propel Australia to become a characterisation nexus of the laser industry and usher in the era of faster telecommunication, enhanced sensors and high-precision manufacturing.
