AXEL: Alexandrite Ring Cavity Lasers for Commercial Quantum Technology

新生量子技术的出现与使能激光源的发展密切相关。随着商业量子技术应用的出现，激光开发的挑战转向实现低成本和高性能的光源，并具有实用量子技术仪器中关键组件所需的坚固性和模块化。该项目将伦敦帝国理工学院的卓越学术成就与M Squared激光器的工业能力和技能结合起来，利用英国研究基地的这一有前途的新创新。

The emergence of nascent quantum technologies has been closely tied to the development of enabling laser sources. With commercial quantum technology applications on the horizon, the challenges in laser development move toward realising low-cost and high performance sources with the ruggedness and modularity required from a critical component in practical quantum technology instruments. The project brings the academic excellence of the Imperial College London together with the industrial capacity and skill of M Squared Lasers to exploit this promising new innovation from the UK's research base.
