I am working on the RENOS-projcet which stands for Rare earth doped novel on-chip souces.

The main goal of this work is to exploit the excellent gain characteristics provided by rare-earth ions when doped into potassium double tungstate RE:KYW) materials in combination with the tight field confinement provided by high-contrast waveguides, which enhances non-linear effects and permits the realization of low-loss sharp bends, to explore the realization of very compact, efficient, tunable on-chip lasers and frequency combs in different wavelength ranges for applications in optical sensing, spectroscopy, metrology and telecommunications.

My project is about developing tunable crystalline high-contrast waveguides laser.
