Ghent University proudly hosted the 4th CSOC Consortium Meeting yesterday! It was a productive day filled with insightful discussions, technical updates, and great momentum. We’re thrilled to be working with such a talented and motivated community. Let’s keep pushing boundaries.

Meet the UGent-imec Team at CLEO 2025! Join us this Thursday, May 8, for our post-deadline presentations on cutting-edge silicon photonics 📍 Room 102 A 7:00 PM – 7:15 PM by Tom Vandekerckhove 7:15 PM – 7:30 PM by Dongbo Wang 📍 Room 102 C 8:15 PM – 8:30 PM by Tom Vanackere 🚀

We're excited to present our post-deadline paper featuring groundbreaking results on integrated comb lasers. Don't miss it! 👉 cvent.me/ENnKqy?refid=SHARE&… @LIGENTECPIC @ugent #CLEO2025 #Photonics #IntegratedLasers #FrequecyComb

How small can a mode-locked laser be? 🤔 Well - quite small as seen last week at Menlo Systems where Dongbo Wang installed a laser developed at Ghent University together with Parvez Islam and Richard Zeltner! 🍺

Today, the CSOC partners came together at DTU - Technical University of Denmark for a productive and successful consortium meeting. Each work package present their contributions and share the progress made toward our collective goals. #Chipscale #OpticalClock

The Nanophotonics Devices Group at DTU has developed a highly confined AlGaAs waveguide platform with a strong second-order nonlinearity coefficient to enable frequency doubling near 1550 nm. Discover more about CSOC project: csoc-project.eu #nonlinearity #comb #clock

EPFL has developed the ultra-low loss fabrication of photonic integrated circuit-based #Si3N4 microresonators to realize the core building block of chip-scale atomic clocks. Using the pulse pumping technique, we will generate an octave spanning microcomb centered at 1310 nm.#CSOC

The second Frequency Combs workshop, co-organised by #CSOC leader @BartKuyken , will take place in Ghent on September 9-10! To find out more, visit the event website at frequencycomb.be/ #innovation #learning #photonics #frequencyCombs

Blue emitters on-board CSOC! Institute of High Pressure Physics “Unipress” of the Polish Academy of Sciences is joining CSOC project under Hop-on facility. Unipress will obtain laser diodes at 461 nm by employing MBE and MOVPE Tec. #OpticalClock #innovation #projectcollaboration

Optical atomic clocks are precise timekeepers! PRG team is employing #microtransferprinting of III-V SOAs on low-loss #SiNphotonic circuits to realize mode-lock lasers, Discover more: CHIP-SCALE ATOMIC OPTICAL CLOCK - Chip-Scale Atomic Optical Clock (csoc-project.eu)

Last week the CSOC consortium came together at Menlo Systems! Partners, coming from @MenloSys , @ugent @LIGENTECPIC @EPFL_en @DTUtweet, reviewed the progress of the first year and laid out plans. Of course, enjoyed the local bavarian cuisine!#frequencycombs #quantumtechnologies

EPFL organized a conference on “Integrated Photonics for Next Generation Technologies” , which took place on July 26-29, 2023 in the Swiss alpine town of Saanen. (ingen2023.epfl.ch/). CSOC members (UGENT, LGT, EPFL) presented research results. @LIGENTECPIC @EPFL_en @ugent
