Laser pioneers to lead £1.2m university spin-out project

M-Squared Lasers, Scotland's fastest-growing technology business according to a recent UK-wide survey, is to lead collaborative research into novel laser technology conceived at the University of Dundee.

The Glasgow-based group will lead a European team granted £1.2 million to resolve the key problems associated with solid-state lasers using conical refraction. The two-year HiCORE project, conceived from research in the photonics and nanoscience group at Dundee, will potentially lead to a new stream of world-class laser products for use in a broad spectrum of applications, including industrial laser welding.
