used in a wide variety of applications and markets including photonics and optics, life sciences, microscopy,_x000D_
and industrial automation. In an effort to enhance their product lines, Zaber would like to create a linear stage_x000D_
with an embedded laser based interferometer to provide a much higher level of accuracy and precision._x000D_
Because no commercially viable laser source exists for this application, this research proposal is aimed at_x000D_
investigating the creation of a new special-purpose laser designed for this application. Specifically, we will_x000D_
design a diode pumped solid state laser, commission its fabrication, and test the final product characterizing its_x000D_
suitability for Zaber's application. This will include a full characterization of the spectral output, frequency_x000D_
stability, tunability, reliability and reproducibility., program purpose french : Zaber Technologies's business is founded on the development and manufacture of precision positioning devices_x000D_
