AgiLight aims to provide for the first-time integrated frequency-agile lasers with Hz-level linewidths, that can address any wavelength from the near UV, visible (VIS) to near-infrared (NIR). This consortium brings together a careful selection of experienced partners from academia and industry with highly complementary skills and cover all competencies needed to implement and leverage the envisaged science-to-technology. AgiLight results are expected to make a difference well beyond the project’s duration by shifting the lasers market from using legacy bulk ECDL lasers to a new generation of integrated lasers manufactured using wafer-scale processing, enabling high volume applications.

This hybrid integrated platform, enabled by advanced technologies such as micro-lenses and photonic wirebonds, combines ultra-low loss photonic integrated circuits with different optical gain materials. The flexibility of this approach enables to address a large span of the SiN transparency window. The same laser concept will be declined at various wavelenght to target high impact applications.

AgiLight will translate ground-breaking research to rapid technology uptake and tailor laser systems for atomic and molecular physics and optics, distance ranging and sensing using the expertise of end-users.
