Research Area

New technologies based on new materials New challenges for high power/energy high repetition rate pulse-periodical lasers and very important new areas of application are the matter of this review. The most promising application of laser diode assemblies is the creation of a phase-locked diode array as the compact and effective source of laser radiation for a wide spectrum of applications. Another application of laser diodes is the creation of a system of multiple ignition of rocket propellant in the combustion chamber of a launcher. Analysis of a wide range of materials on the basis of stability parameters has shown that silicon carbide produced either by reaction bonding or sublimation has an advantage over other materials in all well-known criteria. Some new areas of SiC technologies implementation are highlighted
