Amplifier with tenfold bandwidth opens up for super lasers (IMAGE)
Caption
The amplifier developed by Chalmers researchers is compact, measuring just a few centimeters, yet it can process ten times larger amounts of data per second than current optical communication systems. This innovation leverages a unique combination of design and material selection, providing technical benefits such as minimal noise and a compact form factor. The amplifier features a pattern of spiral-shaped, interconnected waveguides that efficiently direct the laser beam with high precision and minimal loss.
