Ultrafast lasers are transforming industries with their efficiency and precision. Combined with transformative beam shaping and AI integration, the applications are faster, shorter and more powerful.
DARPA’s INSPIRED and US2QC research programmes push fault-tolerant quantum computing and squeezed light photonics further, improving quantum data centres and optical detectors.
Investment secured by NLM Photonics, Salience Labs and Pixel Photonics will support advances in data centre efficiency with low-voltage data transfer and AI-connecting photonic switches.
