Chilas Lasers

In a recent article, we introduced the #ChilasCOMET Swept Source Laser and its potential across various applications. Since then, our engineers have been busy putting it to the test, and more recently run an absorption spectrum experiment with a gas cell to explore its performance in spectroscopy and sensing. ☄ With a 40 nm/s sweep rate, we recorded the HCN absorption lines in sync with our oscilloscope, resulting in a clear, high-resolution spectrum. The result? The COMET’s precision is spot-on for high-precision spectroscopy! ➤ Check out our demo on the Chilas COMET Swept Source Laser: https://lnkd.in/dRwEaJY6 ➤ Did not hear yet about Chilas COMET?

𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐛𝐨𝐝𝐲 𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 DAY OF PHOTONICS – so we have to join in too! How could we not? Our ultra-narrow tunable lasers are powered by PIC technology!  ➤ We will go over the cool tech behind our lasers in a moment, but first, with this occasion, we find it important to make it clear what exciting real-world applications they enable: 🌐 High-speed internet and telecommunications: Our lasers help deliver faster, more reliable internet through advanced networks, connecting communities and businesses. 🌍 Environmental monitoring: From tracking air quality to detecting leaks in pipelines, our lasers make it possible to keep our planet healthy and safe. 🚗 Autonomous vehicles: Lasers are essential for LiDAR systems, helping self-driving cars navigate safely and accurately. 🛡️Secure communications: They ensure that sensitive data remains protected, making our digital world safer. 🩺 Medical imaging: In healthcare, our lasers enable technologies like optical coherence tomography (OCT), providing medical devices detailed vital signs to improve diagnostics. 🌾 Smart agriculture: By monitoring crop health and optimizing resource use, our lasers could contribute to more sustainable farming practices. 🥼Scientific research: They play a vital role in laboratories for precise measurements and calibrations, driving innovation across various fields. Now, how do we achieve all this? Through Hybrid-Integration External Cavity Laser (ECL) technology! Our lasers combine an InP Reflective Semiconductor Optical Amplifier (RSOA) and a Silicon Nitride (Si3N4) waveguide to deliver high output power (>20mW) and ultra-narrow linewidth (<1kHz), with micro-ring resonators for precise tuning.  ➤ Find out more about the technology behind Chilas lasers: https://lnkd.in/e9NWHgbq #dayofphotonics2024 EPIC - EUROPEAN PHOTONICS INDUSTRY CONSORTIUM #tunablelasers #narrowlinewidthlasers

☄𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿! After months of development, our compact ultra-narrow linewidth, widely tunable Swept Source laser #ChilasCOMET is now in production and soon in our customers' labs! 🔬 We gave a sneak peek with a demo at #ECOC24, published a short introductory article on our website, but now it’s time to officially launch it at the EPIC - EUROPEAN PHOTONICS INDUSTRY CONSORTIUM Members New Product Release October ONLINE event! Our CTO, Dimitri Geskus, will not only introduce the laser but demonstrate its performance. To already give you an idea, this super-compact module is designed to sweep across the full C-band in just one second, with ultra-high resolution. How fast? 40 nm per second. On top of that, it’s ultra narrow linewidth. 💡How narrow? < 5 kHz! But there is so much more to learn about it - so join us on October 22nd to do so! ➤ Register for FREE: https://lnkd.in/ekefq3Pd

We’ve made it to PIC Summit Europe!👋 Have you heard about our new Swept Source Laser, #ChilasCOMET? With over 10 mW fiber output power, it sweeps across the entire C-band (1528–1568 nm) at a speed of 40 nm per second. Intrigued? Our very own Sami and Ian are ready to walk you through the details today and tomorrow at 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝟐𝟗. 🔍 But that’s not all. We’ve also given a fresh update to one of our tried-and-true favorites: the fixed-wavelength laser formerly known as CF3. You can still find it under that name on our website—for now—but swing by the booth and be ones of the first to hear about its new name and super compact packaging! #Chilas #TunableLasers #NarrowLinewidthLasers #PICSummit2024

Who’s ready for PIC Summit Europe? 🌟 We sure are! While we’re not part of the conference itself, we’d love to give a full (and even personalized) presentation about the tech behind our lasers at 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝟐𝟗. Meet: 👋 Ian, who many of you met in Frankfurt at #ECOC24. He’s eager to share everything about our lasers—how they work and how quickly they can be delivered to any lab & 👋 Sami —always out and about, making sure Chilas stays connected with old friends & new faces of the industry. Of course, we’re bringing our brand-new #ChilasCOMET, the super-compact, ultra-narrow linewidth and at the same time tunable Swept Source laser. ▶️ But there’s something else you won’t want to miss: the revamped, more compact version of our fixed-wavelength laser (formerly known as CF3). It already has a new name—take a guess before we reveal it! 😉 ➤ A big thank you to PhotonDelta for organizing & keeping this ecosystem thriving! ➤Find us on the floorplan: https://lnkd.in/equxf4ir

Who says exhibitions can’t be fun? This time, we went all out in Frankfurt. It all started with a four-hour car journey from Enschede, Netherlands, to Frankfurt, Germany. The first day at ECOC? Let’s just say it began slowly. Our demo wasn’t working… or was it? After some quick-thinking and hands-on craftsmanship from our CTO, Dimitri Geskus, who wiggled a few wires here and there, the demo was back in action— even with a dead photodiode. The show must go on, right? Exhibitions rarely run super smoothly. No one says it, but everyone knows it. We dress up, look presentable, and get ‘ready to show stuff,’ but let’s be honest — the best part of these events is the connections we make. Not just with those who see the value in our products and services, but also with our team. At Chilas, we love to have fun. Over the past three days, we’ve been fostering connections on both sides. During the day, we showcased our recently developed Swept Source laser— #ChilasCOMET, a product we truly believe can revolutionize industries. In the evenings, we explored Frankfurt’s towering skyline, still pretty with the late-September gloomy weather and all, with good food, drinks, and great company— partners and friends alike. Thank you all for being here with us, customers, partners, friends, (amazing) organizers PhotonicsNL PhotonDelta Holland High Tech and of course ECOC Exhibition #ECOC24 #ECOC2024. See you at PIC Summit Europe!

Come have a look at our Swept Source laser live DEMO at #ECOC2024. It shows how our #ChilasCOMET laser can sweep across the full C-band in one second with ultra-high resolution. ☄️ Chilas Lasers
