EIC Transition challenge: Molokai

Full Name: Mode Locking for Advanced Sensing and Imaging

Duration: 1/8/2024-31/7/2027

Partners:

• UGent
• MBI
• SuperLight Photonics BV
• Ibsen Photonics AS

Objective:

• Our goal is to increase the production of the InP-on-SiN source at the C-band to a wafer scale, develop and commercialize evaluation kits that include the necessary electronics and software to control the chip-comb generators and continue developing single and dual-comb sources for the end-users.

INTEC's Role:

• UGent is coordinating the project, and leading teh following activities:1) improving the fabrication yield of InP-based mode-locked lasers and validating their performance, 2) developing a chip-size dual-comb laser source with an integrated coherent receiver, 3) developing the GaAs-Based dual comb system at NIR wavelengths
