Description | We fabricated a compact, mode-locked, waveguide laser source using ultrafast laser inscription. |
Exploitation Route | Ultrafast laser inscription exhibits a number of distinct advantages over conventional waveguide fabrication technologies. The first is its material flexibility, the second is its unique 3-D fabrication capability and the third is its direct-write nature. We are currently in discussions with two investors interested in developing the technology further. |

Title | Superconducting materials |
Description | Partially or fully saturated doped graphene materials are found to be superconducting. The saturation is with hydrogen or halogen. Doping is performed by substitution of carbon atoms or by applying an electric field. Diamond nano-rods are also found to be superconducting. These materials can be used in electronic devices having a gate. |
