Competencies in the field of laser technology from two German regions, Berlin and Jena, are pooled in the project "High Energy Class Mid-Infrared Lasers" (HECMIR) in the KMU-NetC program, coordinated by OpTecBB The aim is to develop novel, innovative high-energy lasers in the infrared spectral range. In the joint project of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), a diode-pumped solid-state laser with a wavelength of 1.9 µm and high laser energy in the Joule range is to be developed and demonstrated. Such a laser has significant innovation potential for applications in the medical industry and for materials processing, but is not yet commercially available due to several physical challenges.
