Our monolithic laser technology wins the Lab Venture Challenge

Wed, 23 Oct 2024 00:00:00 -0600

Thomas Schibli pitched the monolithic mode-locked laser technology developed in our lab to investors at the Lab Venture Challenge of CU Boulder Venture Partners, with the goal of starting a commercialization effort around it. We are happy to report that the pitch won in the Physical Sciences category, with an award of $125,000.

The technology was recognized for its “best noise performance in a small and efficient device.” Our monolithic lasers are among the quietest free-running optical oscillators available, while being compact and robust. Applications include RF instrumentation, radar, and position, navigation and timing (PNT).

We welcome Haochen Tian, who joined our group this week. Haochen started his Ph.D. studies at Tianjin University and he will now spend one year as part of his Ph.D. program in our group. We hope that his stay will be a fruitful one – scientifically and culturally.

We welcome a new collaborator / visitor

Wed, 05 Sep 2018 00:00:00 -0600

We welcome Dr. Tomohiro Tetsumoto from IMRA America, Inc. as a new collaborator and visitor to our lab. Tomohiro will work on graphene synthesis and integration of single-layer graphene in photonic devices. Yesterday, we have successfully revived our aging ultra-low pressure CVD system. The first run has already resulted in a perfect graphene sheet on a copper surface.
