LVC - Laser chips with increased wavelength modulation range and refined spectral width

FY 2023-24 · 2024-01-02

Summary
This project involves the development of a chip with an increased frequency modulation range. This laser will make it possible to address optical detection applications requiring greater spatial resolution when measuring the phenomena to be detected (temperature, stress, vibration). Secondly, the laser’s spectral width will be further refined. For detection applications based on coherent detection, a more refined laser enables a greater coherence length, which in turn enables us to detect the phenomena to be measured at a greater distance.

Description
This project involves the development of a chip with an increased frequency modulation range. This laser will make it possible to address optical detection applications requiring greater spatial resolution when measuring the phenomena to be detected (temperature, stress, vibration). Secondly, the laser’s spectral width will be further refined. For detection applications based on coherent detection, a more refined laser enables a greater coherence length, which in turn enables us to detect the phenomena to be measured at a greater distance.
Description (French)
Ce projet consiste à développer une puce qui aura, dans un premier volet, une plage de modulation en fréquence accrue. Ce laser permettra d’adresser les applications de détection optique qui demandent une résolution spatiale accrue lors de la mesure des phénomènes à détecter (température, stress, vibration). Dans un second volet, il s’agira d’affiner d’avantage la largeur spectrale du laser. Pour les applications de détection qui sont basées sur la détection cohérente, un laser plus affiné permet une longueur de cohérence accrue qui permet à son tour une capacité de détecter les phénomènes à mesurer à une plus grande distance.
