Chilas featured in Photonics Spectra: enabling scalable quantum technologies
Chilas’ ultra-narrow linewidth, widely tunable lasers are recognized in an article hosted on Photonics Spectra as key enablers for scalable quantum systems. The article “Photonics: The Backbone of Scalable Quantum Technologies” highlights how photonics enable the scalability of quantum technologies, focusing on advances that enable real-world deployment, such as low-loss integrated photonics, ultra narrow-linewidth lasers, and chip-based entangled photon sources.
The article discusses photonics as the key enabler of scalable quantum technologies, highlighting the importance of tunable lasers, the transition from bulk optics to integrated, chip-scale photonics for miniaturization, ongoing standardization efforts, market growth outlook, and more.
‘In computing, sensing, and, in fact, all quantum photonics applications, a set of specialized optical components that must meet stringent performance criteria is needed to enable functionality. Narrow-linewidth lasers are a foundational technology in this context; these sources are essential for manipulating quantum states with high precision. They are used in applications including atom trapping, ion manipulation, and precision timekeeping (atomic clocks).’
‘Chilas Lasers is a leader in this space. The Dutch developer of ultranarrow-linewidth, widely tunable laser systems manufactures hybrid integrated lasers that combine silicon photonics with semiconductor optical amplifiers and achieve sub-kilohertz linewidths. These solutions fulfill the demanding requirements of quantum sensing as well as quantum metrology.’
