New optical Components based on nanostructured dielectric thin films designs for application in MicroLasers - MiLaCo

Project summary

The project MiLaCo addresses the development of novel optical components based on nanostructured thin films for the advanced micro laser systems and laser micro resonators. The main objectives of the work are to fully investigate and develop GLAD method for manufacturing zero angle polarizers and spatial filters using nano-engineered multilayer coatings. Optical components with polarisation control and spatial filtering functionalities will improve the performance of the micro lasers by one order of magnitude. The proposed technology will enable crucial advancements in micro laser systems and will become a key method for the new market of micro lasers.
