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 sources with a small footprint coupled with the ruggedness and modularity required from a critical component in practical quantum technology instruments. This project will fuse the partners' expertise in laser engineering (M2 and Durham), component optimisation (M2) and applications (Durham). The aim is to achieve highly-tunable compact Ti:sapphire laser system at a significantly reduced cost, that disrupts the current market dominance of diode laser systems.

新兴量子技术的出现与激光源的发展密切相关。随着商业量子技术应用的出现，激光器开发的挑战转向实现低成本源，具有小的占地面积，以及实用量子技术仪器中关键组件所需的坚固性和模块化。该项目将融合合作伙伴在激光工程（M2和达勒姆）、组件优化（M2）和应用（达勒姆）方面的专业知识。其目的是以显著降低的成本实现高度可调谐的紧凑型钛宝石激光系统，从而打破二极管激光系统目前的市场主导地位。
