MightyMirror: Powerful mirrors for quantum technology
European Research Council funds project at TU Braunschweig with 1.99 million euros
The funding will enable Prof. Stefanie Kroker to strengthen her team to research optical resonators: the components that make laser systems the most precise instruments known to mankind. The five-year project, which starts on 1 May 2025, is all about meeting the high demands of quantum technologies.
In laser design, the finesse of the resonator in combination with the stability of the mirrors determines how precisely the light beam delivers the desired wavelength. Until now, each wavelength not only requires its own optical resonator, but also a lot of space on optical tables in special laboratories with few sources of interference. The new metamirrors from MightyMirrors will make a decisive difference here. The project is tackling the integration of macroscopic, sensitive laboratory devices on stable microchips. An entire grid of parallel meta-mirrors is used to generate multiple laser wavelengths in a single resonator.
With this project, Prof. Kroker has succeeded in obtaining a highly prestigious Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council. The project will strengthen regional expertise in quantum technology, for example the QuantumFrontiers Cluster of Excellence, in which TU Braunschweig is involved.
This project is funded by the European Union under the funding agreement 101170022.
