New paper published on mid-infrared single-photon generation

We have published a new paper in Journal of the Optical Society of America B, written in collaboration with Francesco Graffitti and Dr. Alessandro Fedrizzi (http://www.mostlyquantum.org/). The paper, titled Numerical investigation of mid-infrared single-photon generation, is the first step towards the demonstration of quantum imaging and sensing at wavelengths above 5 microns, which can be realised thanks to a host of novel semiconductor and chalcopyrite materials that are transparent at longer wavelengths.

Welcome to the Laser Innovation Lab website!

It’s official, the Laser Innovation Lab has a new website! Things are moving quickly at Heriot-Watt University (well, quicker than usual) and there should be some exciting news about new lab space coming this way very soon. With a bit of luck I will also be able to discuss a newly awarded grant before Christmas, so I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
