High performance integrated photonic components for laser systems (Conference Presentation)

The use of photonic integrated circuits and components in many areas across the general area of laser systems is increasing. Example applications of such systems include free space optical communication, remote standoff sensing, solid state and fiber laser pumping, LIDAR for autonomous vehicles, and atomic laser systems for position, navigation, and timing. In this talk we will review the design, performance, and robustness of Freedom Photonics high performance integrated photonic components for these applications and others, focusing in particular on recent advancements in our products at 780 nm, 1060 nm, 1310 nm, and at 1550 nm.
