NIST scientists have developed a novel method to create integrated photonics chips capable of generating a wide spectrum of laser colors on a single chip. By stacking specialized materials like tantalum pentoxide onto silicon wafers, they can miniaturize bulky laser systems. This breakthrough could significantly advance technologies such as quantum computers, optical atomic clocks, and AI by making them more portable and cost-effective. AI
