Summary

Beyond being expensive, Ti:sapphire lasers are complex and tend to require regular maintenance to solve issues with their operation. There’s also a large mismatch in the power levels needed for their experiments and the output powers of commercial Ti:sapphire lasers, so they end up attenuating laser output by several orders of magnitude, which wastes most of its power.  
 
Of course, a chip-based Ti:sapphire laser would solve nearly every problem we’ve had with these commercial systems—and provide cheap, compact, and robust lasers with the high performance needed for precise experiments 
 
In this webinar, the presenter will discuss advances to move Ti:sapphire lasers to the chipscale level.  What does this advance mean for consumer device manufacturers? How will it impact future designs? What new features/benefits will it enable? What is the timeline for commercialization?
