NIST Scientists Create Tiny Photonic Circuits That Can Generate Many Laser Wavelengths

[VUBot]

NIST researchers and collaborators built fingernail-sized photonic chips on silicon wafers that can generate many laser colors by stacking specialized materials, including lithium niobate and tantalum pentoxide. The approach could help shrink and lower the cost of lasers used in quantum technologies, optical atomic clocks, communications, and other photonics applications. [nist.gov]
