Novel physics gives rise to the highest coherence for microscopic lasers.
The Fano laser, measuring just a few microns across, operates in an unusual optical state, a so-called bound-state-in the-continuum, induced by the Fano resonance. The existence of such a state was first identified by some of the early pioneers of quantum mechanics, but evaded experimental observation for many years. In the DTU paper, the scientists show that the characteristics of such a bound-state-in-the-continuum can be harnessed to improve the coherence of the laser. Source: DTU.
