NKT Photonics
|
NKT Photonics is the global leading manufacturer of high performance photonic crystal fibers and single frequency lasers. NKT is headquartered in Denmark, with production facilities in Denmark, Germany, Switzerland and UK and is operating worldwide. NKT is also one of the main players in R&D on broadband supercontinuum lasers in Europe with a decade of industrial expertise on laser innovation and has worked with speciality fiber even longer. The photonic crystal fibers (PCFs) of NKT photonics are the only type of fibers with which one can guide light of any wavelength without it becoming spatially multimoded. This technology is highly important for the delivery of multiple wavelengths in the project. Within the iqClock project NKT Photonics will develop specific photonic crystal fibers for multicolour fibre delivery systems in the integrated optical lattice clock.

Jens Kristian Lyngsøe will be in charge for the technical management of NKTs work in the project. He completed his MSc from Copenhagen University in 2006 and after a short period as research engineer at OFS he enrolled in a PhD on PCF design at The Danish Technology with collaboration from NKT Photonics, which he completed in 2010. Since then he has worked as a research scientist and team leader at NKT Photonics specializing in PCF design.

Andrea Pertoldi is working as an Early Stage Researcher on the topic "Single frequency fiber laser for novel laser cooling". Andrea holds a master degree from ETH Zurich in materials science, and has experience on thin films and surface characterizations for solid state energy system. He made a pivotal change in his career to explore the fascinating field of lasers and quantum technologies. Laser systems are crucial parts of the integrated quantum clock. When striving for compact and lightweight laser system solution for portable optical clocks, the available optical power at the ultra-cold atoms is a bottleneck. In this project, Andrea will work towards a laser system with unmatched compactness which can deliver the necessary optical power to efficiently cool trapped atoms toward micro-Kelvin temperatures.
