Ultra-fast Laser Surfacing of Teeth for Resistance to Erosion (LUSTRE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,

"The “LUSTRE-IAPP” has emerged from a background of successful bilateral academic and industrial collaborations within the UK and Italian partners, in which the knowledge transfer and training of ERs and ESRs are centred on four key aspects of academic research leading to KT and commercialisation activities. These are in the areas of: a) in the engineering and fabrication of laser glass hosts for ...

Generic Integrated Forensic Toolbox for CBRN incidents (GIFT CBRN)

Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Aug 31, 2017,

"Forensic investigation is a key component in the fight against crime and the protection of EU societies. At present it is hampered by a lack of protocols and training in carrying out forensic analysis on CBRN-contaminated materials. The aim of GIFT-CBRN is to develop a forensic toolbox for investigating CBRN incidents. This toolbox would provide (1) procedures, sampling methods and detection of C ...

Ultrafast High-Average Power Ti:Sapphire Thin-Disk Oscillators and Amplifiers (TiSa TD)

Start date: Dec 1, 2013, End date: Nov 30, 2016,

Although hardly visible in daily life, today precision laser micro-machining is employed in a broad and rapidly growing range of medical and industrial applications significantly affecting everybody's life. Short and ultrashort pulsed lasers enable producing structures with sub-micron accuracy, for example diesel injection nozzles which help reducing air pollution significantly when compared to no ...

Nanostructured Efficient White LEDs based on short-period superlattices and quantum dots (NEWLED)

Start date: Nov 1, 2012, End date: Oct 31, 2016,

NEWLED will develop high efficiency and high brightness monolithic and hybrid all-semiconductor WHITE light-emitting GaN-based diodes. Power losses due to phosphor conversion and the problem of different ageing rates of the GaN LED pump will be eliminated by the development of phosphor free structures with increased brightness (power emitted per surface per angle). NEWLED will enhance the efficien ...

High Brightness COnical REfraction Lasers (HICORE)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2014,

A fundamental property of lasers is the ability to propagate and be focused to very small spots with little divergence, termed beam quality. The ability to achieve high power low divergence operation (high brightness) is of paramount importance for many applications, both existing and potential, of laser devices. Effective ways to scale output power without compromising beam quality are limited ...
