New paper submitted to the arXiv

Our review article, "Enabling photonic integrated 3D magneto-optical traps for quantum sciences and applications" was published in the December issue of Optica Quantum and its graphic was chosen for the cover art.

"Photonic integrated coil cavity ultra-low linewidth stabilized lasers and applications"

Excited to share that our work on photonic integrated ultra-narrow linewidth lasers at 780 nm has been published in Nature Scientific Reports.

Prof. Blumenthal and his group at UCSB are officially part of the University of Colorado led Q-SEnSE NSF QLCI (Quantum Leap Challenge Institute).

Our recent paper is ranked in the list of Photonics Research Top Downloads from July-September 2024.

Our journal publication entitled 'Anneal-free ultra-low loss silicon nitride integrated photonics' was selected by Light: Science & Applications (LSA) as the Top Downloaded Paper in August 2024.
