Applications
Material processing
Description
Latest developments in laser processing require emission of pulses in burst. It gives access to new physical processes with better quality with improved speed.
Notably, these bursts are used for Through Glass Vias (TGV) for higher density micro-electronics.
Synthwave Lasers provides a high-power, burst-capable, dedicated laser system for the newest and demanding material processing applications.
Quantum technologies
Description
Quantum technology often requires laser pulses to generate and/or manipulate single photons and photonic qbits.
By using a synchronized, very high repetition rate laser at 920 nm or 1.5 µm, the generation rates and coherence times can be increased by a factor of 100.
Dual-comb spectroscopy
Description
Our technology can generate two highly-correlated combs, with tunable spectral overlap and frequency difference.
It is a perfect candidate for a cost-effective yet compact and simple dual-comb system for spectroscopy.
Lidar & Space tracking
Description
Our laser source’s repetition rate can be swiftly adjusted to produce bursts with varying internal pulse repetition rates.
This allows the discrimination of bursts to increase the tracking bandwidth and lower the detection threshold.
Spintronics
Description
Spin precession is one critical measurement in spintronics. This measurement can be easily performed thanks to our laser source with a sweeping repetition rate.
Non-destructive testing
Description
By sweeping the pulse repetition rate over several octaves, it is possible to analyze material parameters, such as Brillouin frequency, with more precision at a higher rate.
Optical links
Description
Our technology synthesizes optical pulses with an effortless synchronization, with an exceptionally low timing jitter relative to the reference carrier.
This allows for cost-effective optical signal disseminations over long distances of few hundreds of meters.
Astrocombs
Description
Astrocombs are a special kind of optical frequency combs which allows the calibration of astronomical spectrographes. Their free spectral range are around dozens of GHz, and it needs to be stabilized on an absolute reference.
Hence our GHz laser pulse synthesizers are perfect candidates for this applications, replacing costly and cumbersome current astrocombs.
Photo injection
Description
In order to increase the brightness of linear accelerator, one approach is to « fill all the buckets », meaning placing electrons paquets in all electromagnetic potentials.
To realize this, one needs a synchronized laser source emitting pulses at a rate up to X-Band (12 GHz).
Side-channel attacks
Description
This kind of cybersecurity processes requires versatile lasers, which emits not only single pulse on demand with a very low jitter (< 10 ps) but also pulses train with continuously tunable repetition rate in the 0.1-3 GHz range.
This demanding prerequisite can only be fulfilled with our technology.
