VM Photonics GmbH, a spinoff of the @mpi_grav and @unihannover, has developed a source for ultrapure and superstable laser light for high-precision optical measurements.
🔍 The new laser source delivers light that is ten times purer and more stable than comparable products, enhancing measurement accuracy significantly.
🌌 With decades of experience in laser systems for gravitational-wave detectors, the founders have developed a system that outperforms existing technologies in both power and frequency stability, maintaining its advantages even after amplification to higher laser power.
🌍 Potential applications include measuring gravitational waves, monitoring climate change from space, generating squeezed light, searching for dark matter, and identifying the fingerprints of quantum gravity.
