At the AKL – International Laser Technology Congress in Aachen, EULIAA technology was featured prominently:
- Fraunhofer ILT presented the Alexandrite laser developed for EULIAA to a broad audience from laser science and industry, showing how the tailored, narrow‑band sources enable advanced atmospheric lidar in both infrared and ultraviolet.
- In addition, Michael Strotkamp (Fraunhofer ILT) served as session chair for “Lasers with Tailored Wavelengths”, with talks by Alexander Munk (diode‑pumped Alexandrite lasers for atmospheric lidars), Konstantin Holzner (monochromatic visible lasers for astronomy and quantum technologies) and Toby Strite (nanosecond DUV laser alternatives for micromachining).
The session underscored how wavelength‑customised laser sources not only improve existing processes but also enable entirely new applications, including atmospheric research, astronomy and advanced material processing.
