We propose to demonstrate in phase I the feasibility of a novel miniature high performance and low noise laser. We will also chart a phase II R&D plan for a highly efficent high power oscillator that can fit into.
Benefit: We believe that our novel laser technology can enable numerous other applications in other spectral regions. Because the QD gain spectrum can be readily engineered with QD size and composition. In particular, compact and energy efficient narrow linewidth lasers are important for other Dual use applications in a multi-channel sensing, coherent communications and coherent Lidar systems.
