A patented technology with 3D versatility
With our all-glass atomic vapor cell approach we can creatively approach quantum sensing with multiple points of entry into the sensing chamber as well as realise complex structures. Our technology is suitable for the realisation of optically pumped atomic magnetometers; radio frequency electric field sensors; atomic frequency references; miniaturized atomic clocks; atomic gyroscopes.
Pioneering 3D Laser-Written Vapor Cells
Our foundational work introduced an out-of-the-box method for fabricating alkali-metal vapor cells using femtosecond laser writing, marking the birth of laser-written vapor cell (LWVC) technology. This approach enables the creation of fully three-dimensional internal structures within transparent substrates, offering unprecedented flexibility in defining vapor cell geometries. It also opens pathways for monolithic integration with photonic components on the same chip. As a proof of concept, LWVCs were successfully used for sub-Doppler saturated absorption spectroscopy and single-beam optical magnetometry, demonstrating their potential for compact, customizable, chip-scale quantum sensing platforms.
