Eurice Joins Research Project SUPERLASER to Revolutionise Lasing Technology with Ultra-Narrow Superradiant Perovskite Lasers

The SUPERLASER project started in September 2024 with a successful kick-off meeting in Athens, and aims to develop a groundbreaking type of laser based on halide perovskite materials. These innovative lasers promise to deliver high performance, unprecedented precision, and environmental sustainability, making a significant impact on both science and technology. The project’s goal is to create sustainable, low-cost, and highly efficient lasers that produce ultra-narrow linewidths achieving superradiance at room temperature —an essential innovation for numerous advanced technologies such as quantum technologies, photovoltaics, and 6G communications, where coherent light plays a critical role in network synchronization.

The SUPERLASER project, funded by the prestigious European Innovation Council (EIC) Pathfinder Programme with a budget of EUR 3.6 million over three years, brings together a consortium of nine partners from seven countries across Europe. Possessing an extensive track record in communication, dissemination and exploitation activities, Eurice will provide expert guidance in these areas to the entire project team. “While SUPERLASER is our first project in the field of lasing, Eurice can leverage years of experience in the field of ground-breaking technological research. The ambitious project aims at revolutionising the field of lasing with the development of new materials and device designs. We are excited to be part of a project that fosters both innovative and sustainable science,” says Heiko Poth, Research and Innovation Manager at Eurice.

Addressing Current Limitations
Ultra-coherent lasers with nearly atomic-linewidth radiation are fundamental for a range of cutting-edge technologies, including quantum computing, accurate time definition, and gravitational wave detection. However, existing laser technologies face significant challenges related to linewidth stability, cost, and environmental impact. Free-electron gas lasers, for instance, require large and costly equipment, while solid-state semiconductor lasers suffer from thermal noise instability.

The use of halide perovskite—a synthetic material with unique intrinsic properties—offers a promising solution to reduce dependency on critical raw materials. SUPERLASER aims to overcome current limitations by developing ultra-narrow linewidth superradiant halide perovskite lasers that are not only more stable and precise than current state of the art lasers, but also environmentally friendly.

Sustainable Lasing: Developing the Lasing Technology of the Future
Over the next three years, the SUPERLASER team will focus on two main goals: first, identifying new types of perovskite materials that have unique properties due to the interaction between their electron spins and their orbital movements (known as spin-orbit coupling); and second, developing layered structures, called superlattices, that can sustain a state of enhanced light emission, known as superradiance, even at room temperature. The development of these novel materials will reduce dependency on critical raw materials that are currently used in all types of modern electronic devices.

Throughout the project environmentally sound processes with zero carbon footprint will be applied and recyclability and reuse protocols will be implemented continuously to minimise e-waste and environmental impact.
