UC Santa Barbara engineering professor Daniel Blumenthal's lab seeks to recreate the performance of these lasers on lightweight devices that can fit in the palm of your hand.

The team used a combination of a commercially available Fabry-Perot laser diode, some of the world's lowest-loss waveguides, and highest quality factor resonators, all fabricated in a silicon nitride platform.

The success of this technology means that it will be possible to deploy these laser-performance, low-cost photonics integrated lasers in a variety of situations.

"You could measure sea level rise, changes in sea ice and earthquakes by sensing the gravitational fields around the Earth ," says Andrei Isichenko .

The compactness, low-power consumption and light weight is a "perfect fit" for the technology to be deployed in space.
