Mode-Locked Lasers

Mode-locked lasers (MLLs) generate ultrashort pulse trains, producing frequency combs with evenly spaced spectral lines, enabling unmatched precision in timing, metrology, and spectroscopy. Building on patented breakthroughs from the Nonlinear Photonics Laboratory at Caltech, including the first fully integrated picosecond on-chip MLL, PINC is transforming tabletop mode-locked lasers into chip-scale systems, enabling practical and scalable products for applications such as optical atomic clocks, biomedical devices, and beyond.

Further details coming soon. Please contact us with your MLL requirements.
