• 1st Newsletter: Introduction to VERTIGO and first results
• 2nd Newsletter: The project sets new standards for high-power, high-efficiency OPSDLs in the 2.Xµm wavelength range: up to 5W a 2.0µm emission wavelength
• 3 rd Newsletter: The VERTIGO project has realized a stable, single frequency laser in the 2µm wavelength range with a linewidth below 2.3 MHz.
• 4 th Newsletter: The wavelength coverage of semiconductor disk lasers was extended to the 1.9µm - 2.8µm wavelength range by demonstrating the first OPSDL at 2.8µm. This wavelength flexibility, together with the flexibility of the OPSDL concept itself, leads to a multitude of customized laser solutions.
• 5 th Newsletter: The VERTOGO project has developed ready-to-use OEM laser modules
