A new
generation of ultra-small and high precision lasers emerges
Ultra fast,
robust, stable, and high precision: these are some of the characteristics of a
new laser developed by an international research team. This ultra-small laser
paves the way for a new generation of highly powerful, ultra-stable integrated
lasers. Professor Roberto Morandotti and his team at the INRS Énergie Matériaux
Télécommunications Research Centre played a leading role in the design of this
versatile laser that recently made the front page of the prestigious scientific
journal Nature Communications.
“We
advanced a new approach to develop a laser that boasts as yet unparalleled
stability and precision, allowing us to conduct new experiments and open up new
realms of research,” said Professor Morandotti, who was elected a fellow by the
Optical Society of America and by the International Society for Optics and
Photonics (SPIE). “Plus, a multitude of applications may be created in biology,
medicine, materials processing, IT, high speed communications, and metrology.”
