The mandate of Advanced Laser Development & Applications Division (ALDAD) is to pursue research and developmental work in the area of advanced lasers and their applications with major focus on lamp pumped solid state lasers, diode pumped solid state lasers (DPSSL) and fiber lasers. The Division is engaged in R&D on different types of solid state lasers, which can generate high energy and high power output spanning different wavelength regions, operate in CW, QCW, Q-switch and mode-locking regimes to generate CW to ultra-short pulses and also provide narrow linewidth for specialized applications. In-house developed lasers are being utilized in state-of-the-art industrial applications such as cutting, welding, drilling, peening, micromachining of materials. Use of lasers in material characterization and laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is also being actively pursued.
To cover the mandate of the Division, structure of the Division is as mentioned below:
- Industrial Lasers and Applications Section (ILAS)
- Solid State Laser Section (SSLS)
