new The challenge for the Institute is two-fold. Firstly, it must develop and miniaturise new quantum sensing technologies. “In order to do this, we have to take the lasers and photonics and modulators and control electronics that make up 90% of the atom experiments here on Earth, and work really hard to get all that precision onto small, low-power chips that can be deployed in space,” said Daniel Blumenthal, a UC Santa Barbara professor of electrical and computer engineering, whose expertise lies in quantum photonic integration, optical and communications technologies. He will be working on developing the PICs for the compact chips designed to measure small variations in Earth’s gravity from space. This will involve moving a shaken lattice interferometer structure developed at the University of Colorado down to the chip scale. This type of atomic interferometer sensor uses many lasers and optics to cool and trap the atoms to measure gravity gradients with extremely high sensitivity. — electrooptics.com, 2d ago
