Scientists Shrink Powerful Ultrafast Laser Onto a Chip After 20 Years
Researchers at EPFL have achieved a milestone two decades in the making: shrinking a powerful ultrafast laser down to chip scale. The team developed a compact laser that matches the performance of conventional tabletop femtosecond lasers, potentially democratizing access to advanced laser technology.
