Abstract:
Titanium-sapphire (Ti:sapphire) lasers are considered to have unmatched performance and are indispensable in quantum optics, spectroscopy, and neuroscience. But this performance comes at a steep price: they are large, expensive, and require other high-powered lasers to function.As a result, Ti:sapphire lasers have not achieved widespread real-world adoption – until now.
In a dramatic leap forward in scale, efficiency, and cost, Stanford researchers have built a Ti:sapphire laser on a chip.
“This is a complete departure from the old model,” says Prof. Jelena Vučković. “Instead of one large and expensive laser, any lab might soon have hundreds of these valuable lasers on a single chip.”
“A chip is light. It is portable. It is inexpensive and it is efficient. There are no moving parts. And it can be mass-produced,” says Joshua Yang, Founder and CEO, Brightlight Photonics, “What’s not to like? This democratizes Ti:sapphire lasers.”
