Busines and Oil NewsThe Laser That Once Filled a Lab Now Fits on a Tiny Chip
Scientists have finally packed a laboratory-class ultrafast laser onto a tiny photonic chip. Ultrafast lasers generate bursts of light that last only a few hundred femtoseconds, each one just a quadrillionth of a second long. These extremely short pulses are used in a wide range of technologies, including precision manufacturing, eye surgery, and optical frequency [...]
Researchers at the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) have succeeded in miniaturizing an ultrafast laser, previously confined to laboratories, into a photonic chip. This innovation represents a significant advance in laser technology, enabling the production of extremely short light pulses, lasting only 147 femtoseconds. A breakthrough in the miniaturization of ultrafast lasers: The new laser developed by the team led by Professor T…
