High-power 150 mW extended cavity Si3N4 tunable narrow-linewidth laser

Chilas develops off-the-shelf laser sources based on hybrid integration of Photonic Integrated Chips (PICs). Combining the high optical powers of semiconducting optical amplifiers (SOAs) with low-loss wavelength tunable mirror structures on Si3N4 PICs results in compact and robust tunable laser sources.

Light-field ghost imaging

Techniques based on classical and quantum correlations in light beams, such as ghost imaging, allow us to overcome many limitations of conventional imaging and sensing protocols.

Quantum-Enhanced Magnetometry at Optimal Number Density

We study the use of squeezed probe light and evasion of measurement backaction to enhance the sensitvity and measurement bandwith of an optically pumped magnetometer (OPM) at sensitivity-optimal atom number density. By experimental observation, and in agreement with quantum noise modeling, a spin-exchange-limited OPM proved with off-resonance laser light is shown to have an optimal sensitivity determined by density-dependent quantum noise contributions.
