The current CRD grant application targets a four-year collaborative effort between McGill University and ITF Technologies towards the development of improved specialty laser sources that will benefit Canadian industry. The project consists in increasing the output power of high-power fiber lasers for manufacturing processes. Piercing, welding, cutting are such tasks of high-power lasers. Increasing the power of these lasers enables reducing time for e.g. cutting a given shape from a bulk piece of metal. This therefore increases processing speed and productivity.Both partners bring their own complementary expertise on the fabrication of fiber lasers and supporting materials for the success of the project. In addition to their technical and financial contributions, the industrial partners at ITF Technologies are well aware of the needs of the laser market and thus provide important feedback on the orientation of the project. At McGill University, this project will position the research effort at the forefront of fiber laser market needs, thus with high potential for the creation of intellectual property and training students with unique expertise. A PhD and an MEng student will be trained in the context of the project, leading to highly qualified personnel specialized in fiber laser technologies.

目前的 CRD 拨款申请旨在麦吉尔大学和 ITF Technologies 之间为期四年的合作，开发改进的特种激光源，这将有利于加拿大工业。该项目旨在提高制造过程中高功率光纤激光器的输出功率。穿孔、焊接、切割都是高功率激光器的任务。增加这些激光器的功率可以减少例如治疗的时间。从大块金属上切割出给定的形状。因此，这提高了处理速度和生产率。双方都在光纤激光器制造和支持材料方面发挥了各自的互补专业知识，以确保项目的成功。除了技术和财务贡献外，ITF Technologies 的工业合作伙伴也非常了解激光市场的需求，因此可以就项目的方向提供重要的反馈。在麦吉尔大学，该项目将把研究工作定位在光纤激光器市场需求的最前沿，因此在创造知识产权和培养具有独特专业知识的学生方面具有巨大潜力。一名博士生和一名工程硕士生将在该项目的背景下接受培训，培养光纤激光技术方面的高素质人才。
