FEMTOCHIP – Femtosecond Laser on a Chip

We are laying the foundation for low-noise, high-performance, coin-sized #femtosecond #laser technology that will then be available to science and industry at a fraction of the usual cost. ▬▬ OUR MOTIVATION ▬▬ Femtosecond lasers have become an indispensable part of research. They can be used to study ultrafast processes in materials and molecules, and their potential for applications in fields as diverse as optical telecommunications, quantum technologies or optical spectroscopy is great. However, these lasers are traditionally relatively large and quite expensive. A consortium consisting of Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY in Germany, the University of Twente in the Netherlands, Aalto University in Finland, the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, the company LIGENTEC SA from Switzerland and EurA from Germany, has set out to provide the same functionality in a much smaller and less expensive way: on a microchip. ▬▬ THE PROJECT'S TARGETS ▬▬ The combined expertise of experts in ultrafast laser technology, micro-integration, materials science and industrial applications aims to jointly overcome the many technical hurdles that have so far made femto-custom lasers on chips impossible. The laser flashes will later be produced with ultra-high precision directly on the microchip. Everything that has to be small or mobile and needs precisely timed laser pulses could benefit from this - for example, medical diagnostics, mobile environmental sensors, navigation systems and quantum technologies. ▬▬ Project's coordinator ▬▬ Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron DESY ▬▬ Lead scientists ▬▬ ► Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron: Prof. Dr.-Ing.
