Project description
Compact frequency combs on the path to commercialisation
Frequency combs are laser devices whose spectra consist of equally spaced peaks in the frequency domain. Quantum cascade lasers are powerful chip-scale sources of optical frequency combs across the mid- and far-infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum. Such sources have been previously demonstrated by the EU-funded QOMBS project and have varied applications in spectroscopy, LIDAR and telecom, where they allow for the development of innovative devices due to their broad range and fast acquisition speed. Following in its footsteps, the EU-funded QOMBINA project plans to further develop their potential. Detailed business and marketing plans should help make such devices available to the wider market and address the market needs more directly.
Objective
Optical Frequency Comb (OFC) are laser devices which emit light in a wide spectrum consisting of equidistant peaks in frequency space.
The FET project “Qombs” made major advances in high performance of the OFC by employing quantum cascade laser sources (QCL) able to operate over all the mid-IR and far-IR region of the spectrum. However, the applications of the QCL-OFC are for the moment rather limited and all potential markets remain hidden.
In that view, QombINA project aims in the development of a solid exploitation strategy for Frequency Comb lasers, which are a result of QOMBS project, aiming at the commercialisation of said devices. In that view, during QombINA project, a set of targeted activities aiming at showcasing the concept of QCL Frequency Combs to wider market applications will be pushed forward, while most promising applications and potential markets will be achieved through detailed business and marketing plans, respectively.
