Title: Innovations in Laser Technology by Timothy J Carrig
Introduction
Timothy J Carrig is an accomplished inventor based in Ithaca, NY (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of laser technology, particularly through his innovative work on alkali halides. His research has led to advancements that enhance the capabilities of laser materials.
Latest Patents
Carrig holds a patent for "Lasers in alkali halides using N and R color-centers." This invention involves a laser material comprising an alkali-halide crystal with a rocksalt crystallographic structure. The material contains point defects selected from F3 or R, F4, and N2 color centers. The preferred laser material is based on the neutral N2 color center defect. The alkali halide can be any from lithium, sodium, potassium, and rubidium chloride, bromide, and fluoride, with potassium chloride being the preferred choice. The lasers developed from this invention represent a stable near-infrared laser that can be tuned, specifically in the case of KCl, from 1.23 to 1.35 μm, and can be optically pumped at 1.06 μm using a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser. This invention marks the first reported laser based on N2-center transitions and appears to be the first stable laser utilizing a charge-neutral color center in pure alkali halide hosts.
