Mid-infrared (Mid-IR) fiber lasers and amplifiers have gained significant attention due to their potential applications in various fields, including spectroscopy, sensing, and materials processing. However, the efficient coupling of pump light into these Mid-IR fibers remains a critical challenge. Traditional pump combiners often involve complex fabrication processes and can suffer from low coupl…
A celebration of Michigan Tech MSE Professor Jiann-Yang (Jim) Hwang’s career of innovative contributions to the field of materials processing was the subject of an honorary symposium sponsored by the Extraction and Processing Division (EPD) at the 2021 TMS Annual Meeting. Prof. Hwang was honored for his pioneering research on microwave-assisted metallurgy; for engineering and . . .
