World-first optical fiber laser promises to revolutionalise detection of gases

Miriad Technologies are extremely grateful to have been part of an international research collaboration; between Macquarie University (Australia) and McGill University (Canada).  The research, lead by Dr. Darren Hudson, resulted in a >2 octave super continuum generation based on an ultrafast mid-IR fiber laser. We provided support towards the development of the laser system using our Miriad S3 spectrometers, which allowed real-time optimisation of the generated supercontinuum. Details of the research is available here in the Optica publication "Towards all-fiber supercontinuum spanning the mid-infrared".   

We thank everyone in the research for allowing us to contribute towards a small part of their work. We hope the development of the Miriad S3 Spectrometer will further aid researchers in this field. 

More details on the applications and context are available in a Macquarie University media release here.
