Adam Wyatt attended HiPPo’s (Smart Fibre High Power Photonics) industry day yesterday at the University of Southampton. It was a highly informative event exploring the latest trends and innovations in Smart High-Power Photonics.
The HiPPo programme is focused on understanding how to control the properties of fibre lasers, to go beyond the “fixed” fibre lasers that are currently used in manufacturing and towards “smart” fibre lasers that are automatically reconfigured and optimised in real-time. The aim is to revolutionise manufacturing by developing the next generation of reconfigurable, scalable, resilient, power efficient, ‘smart’ fibre laser tools for modern day manufacturing.
