Abstract

Titanium-doped sapphire (Ti:Sapphire) lasers have enabled significant breakthroughs and technologies throughout the past decades, from the development of the optical frequency comb to multiphoton microscopy of biological tissues. Ti:Sapphire lasers are unmatched in bandwidth and tuning range, and as a result, are indispensable in areas such as atomic physics and quantum optics. However, despite the utility of Ti:Sapphire lasers, their use is severely restricted due to their large size, cost, and need for high optical pump powers. In this presentation, I will introduce our work on the development of a monocrystalline Titanium:Sapphire-on-insulator (Ti:SaOI) photonics platform, which enables dramatic miniaturization, cost-reduction, and scalability of Ti:Sapphire technology.
