Free-electron laser on silicon chip

A typical free electron laser has a large size, usually built in a national facility. We report a chip-size free-electron laser realized by injecting a keV electron beam atop a silicon-based micro- or nano-structured grating waveguide. Distributed feedback and Cherenkov phase matching in the grating enable low threshold lasing for the chip-size free-electron laser.

Toward Ring-Based FEL Development Enabled by Beam Based Synchronization in TPS and TLS

Precise synchronization between external lasers and electron bunches is a key enabling technology for advanced accelerator based photon science, including pump-probe experiments, beam diagnostics, and laser-assisted beam manipulation. We propose a beam-based synchronization scheme in which an external laser is directly synchronized to synchrotron radiation rather than the RF system. This approach has the potential to reduce timing jitter to below 10 fs, significantly improving synchronization performance for ultrafast applications. The synchronized laser system can support femtosecond-resolution longitudinal beam diagnostics, laser slicing, laser-induced microbunching, and the generation of THz, MIR-UV, and HHG-based radiation sources. Furthermore, preliminary studies indicate that such synchronization capabilities may facilitate future ring-based FEL concepts in TPS and TLS. Initial analyses suggest that significant harmonic bunching can be maintained without requiring magnetic chicanes or complex transverse-gradient undulators, providing a promising pathway toward storage-ring FEL development.

Nanostructured coatings for high-power photonics applications

The formation of nanostructured coatings by glancing angle deposition (GLAD) or periodic modulation techniques opens new opportunities with strong potential for advanced photonics applications. These methods enable the fabrication of AR and HR coatings, as well as birefringent-based waveplates and polarizers at normal incidence, offering high resistance to laser irradiation. We also demonstrate that GLAD is a suitable maskless technique for enhancing diffractive optical elements through conformal nanostructuring.

Investigation of Absorption in Multilayer Dielectric Mirrors Deposited with Ion Beam Sputtering Technology

As the optical field energy in commercial and scientific laser systems increases, higher demands for laser induced damage threshold, low defect density and low absorption laser components emerge. In particular, absorption losses can lead to thermal lensing effects, reducing laser beam quality, increase in temperature of both optical coating and it’s fixture and cause other negative consequences. In this research we use laser induced deflection (LID) absorption measurement technique in order to investigate absorption relation of ion beam sputtered single layer coatings and multilayer mirrors. For this purpose absorption values of TiO2, Nb2O5, Ta2O5, HfO2, Al2O3 and SiO2 single layer coatings were measured using LID method determining the extinction coefficient values of respective materials. From this data, the absorption of multilayer Bragg type structures and chirped mirrors was estimated with few ppm accuracy.

Wavefront pre-compensated multi-pass Yb:YAG thin-disk laser amplifier for structured light amplification

Using highly uniform 10 at.% Yb:YAG crystals grown by a modified Czochralski process with precisely controlled temperature gradients and rotation rates, we demonstrated a multi-pass thin-disk laser amplifier with active phase pre-compensation. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) confirmed the crystals’ high quality and compositional uniformity. The crystals were fabricated into thin-disk gain media with thicknesses of 100 to 200 μm and surface flatness better than λ/10 for a multi-pass pumping architecture. A spatial light modulator (SLM) was employed to pre-compensate the incident beam phase, overcoming the power-handling limitations of conventional SLM-based structured-light systems. The amplifier delivered high-quality structured laser beams with power amplification factors of 10 to 25 while maintaining beam fidelity above 95% relative to the target profile. This approach enables high-power structured-light generation for advanced manufacturing applications.

Structured light amplification in a highly doped Yb:YAG thin-disk amplifier

Amplification of SLM-generated beam patterns in a thin-disk laser is limited by thermally induced phase distortion in the gain medium. We report spectroscopic characterisation of 5, 10 and 15 at.% Yb:YAG disks and a phase-compensation scheme for the amplified beam. Photoluminescence at 4–300 K shows the 1030 nm band broadening from 10.6 to 13.8 nm and a fivefold growth of the 969 nm hot-band ratio. Spatial PL (I₉₆₉/I₁₀₃₀) and spectroscopic-ellipsometry maps with 0.1 mm step reveal Yb distribution uniform within 2 % and residual birefringence below 10⁻⁵ across the 10 mm aperture. A closed-loop algorithm that computes the SLM correction hologram from the sampled output field restores pattern fidelity above 0.8 after multi-pass amplification with 0.5 rad accumulated distortion. Implications for the design of a 100 µJ structured-light amplifier are discussed.

Non-Hermitian Mode Control for Enhancement of Brightness in Broad Area Edge Emitting Lasers

I will present a new LT-TW collaboration project between Vilnius University and National United University, on Semiconductor Broad Area Edge Emitting Lasers, starting from 2026.
Such lasers are highly compact and very convenient coherent light sources.  Despite their high emission power, many of their implementations are severely hindered by a highly multimode beam (low beam quality) and its significant divergence.
Existing methods to improve spatial beam quality, such as restricting the lasing area to form single-mode ridge lasers, result in a drastic power reduction. Alternatively, external cavity stabilization significantly affects device compactness and mechanical stability.
This project aims to resolve this problem by applying a novel non-Hermitian mode-cleaning technique, based on specific spatial modulation of the gain-loss profile to suppress higher-order transverse modes, and to achieve a high spatial quality beam.

Plasma etching of optical substrates and application for high power lasers

Absorption inducing defects of optical components for high power lasers should be eliminated as effectively as possible. This also applies to optical substrates used for transmitting optics, such as antireflective coated windows, polarizers, beam separators, etc. Usually, polishing process of optical substrate leaves thin so called Beilby subsurface layer consisting of absorbing polishing material remnants. Plasma etching of substrate surface using optimized process parameters removes absorbing remnants and substantially increases laser induced damage threshold of the substrate or final coated optical component. Obtained results of plasma etching for fused silica substrates and YAG, Co:MALO (spinel) laser crystals are presented.

Direct femtosecond laser micro-machining for fabrication of β‑Ga2O3 electronics

Direct laser micro-machining (DLM) is a promising technique in material processing, due to its maskless and contactless nature, sub-micron precision, and high speed. We developed the DLM processing technology on β-Ga2O3 epilayers grown on sapphire substrate aiming to form shallow recesses suitable for maskless fabrication of semiconductor devices. Using optimized DLM parameters, we have developed the processes to fabricate shallow recesses over a large surface area, with the average depth ranging from 300 nm down to 20 nm. As a proof of concept, the β-Ga2O3 MOSFETs with a laser-recessed gates were fabricated to demonstrate the versatility of the DLM fabrication technique. These findings highlight DLM as a viable, green and maskless technique for high-precision mesa isolation and recess formation on the wide-bandgap semiconductor layers.

Charge carrier transport in GeSn layers

We study carrier transport in GeSn layers using femtosecond pump–probe spectroscopy, Hall and Magnetoresistivity. A series of GeSn samples with thicknesses ranging from 100 to 400 nm and Sn contents ranging from 4 to 9% were grown on Si substrates using molecular beam epitaxy via a 200-nm-thick Ge buffer layer. The GeSn layers were excited using 200 fs above-bandgap laser pulses at 760 nm and probed with an infrared supercontinuum, enabling measurements of carrier lifetimes as functions of temperature (80–300 K), excitation fluence, and Sn content. Increasing the Sn content shifts the bandgap toward longer infrared wavelengths while simultaneously reducing the carrier lifetime from approximately 400 ps to 100 ps. The increase of temperature-dependent charge carrier lifetime with increasing excitation fluence was attributed to saturation of bulk nonradiative traps. A decrease in lifetime with increasing temperature was observed for lower Sn contents, whereas the lifetime exhibited the opposite trend for higher Sn contents, indicating competition between thermally activated trapping, carrier localization, and nonradiative recombination pathways. We found that the mobility values of 100-400 cm2/Vs and carrier densities of 1016-1018 cm-3 increase with increasing temperature and Sn content.

Physical Deposited Perovskite Films as Devices: Thermal Evaporation and Pulsed Laser Deposition

Perovskite materials, based on the ABX3 crystal structure, exhibit a range of unique optoelectronic properties, including low cost, tannable bandgap, low exciton binding energy, high absorption coefficient, and extended carrier diffusion length and lifetime, such them have garnered worldwide attention as a promising technology for the next generation of display devices. Although initial reports focused on laboratory-scale spin-coating techniques, rapid advances have prompted researchers to explore pathways for their scaled manufacture. Drawing inspiration from the semiconductor process, the community has begun to look at vapour deposition to build reliable perovskite films. This work examines the development of vapour-deposited perovskite films. Finally, we outline development opportunities in this evolving field.

Non-Contact 2D/3D Metrology for Quantitative Evaluation of Laser-Modified S355 Steel

Laser surface processing can generate highly localized geometric and topographic changes that require quantitative, non-contact characterization. This work presents a metrology-oriented evaluation of pulsed-laser-modified S355 structural steel using a Mitutoyo Quick Vision Hyper WLI system combining vision measurement and white-light interferometry. Laser-processed tracks are assessed by surface geometry, height/depth profiles, cross-sectional shape, and selected 3D surface texture parameters. The study shows how integrated 2D dimensional measurement and 3D optical topography can support evaluation of laser-process outcomes and complement microstructural characterization. Particular attention is given to accessible measurands, measurement workflow, and practical limitations for laser-modified metallic surfaces. The approach is illustrated using S355 specimens from an ongoing Lithuania–Taiwan collaborative study.

Polymer-assisted Solutions for a Tailored Interface Toward Practical and Dendrite-Free Lithium Metal Batteries

To enable high-energy-density lithium-metal batteries, stabilizing the lithium/electrolyte interface against dendritic growth and continuous side reactions remains a critical challenge. Here, we present a scalable strategy integrating Roll-to-Roll (R2R) melt-deposition with gas-phase plasma surface engineering to produce uniform 20–30 µm lithium coatings on copper current collectors (Li@Cu). Gas-phase plasma treatments were developed to passivate the metallic lithium surface, forming a highly ion-conductive, nitride-based artificial solid electrolyte interphase (SEI). To systematically assess these modified interfaces prior to cell integration, a robust four-step diagnostic screening protocol was established: (1) top-view SEM-EDS for surface morphology and elemental purity, (2) cross-sectional SEM for layer thickness and defect/void detection, (3) X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) for chemical state resolution, and (4) symmetric cell plating/stripping measurements to determine Coulombic efficiency and critical current density (CCD). Evaluated under practical conditions using custom-formulated standard electrolytes, the optimized plasma-treated nitride interfacial layers significantly reduced interfacial resistance and effectively suppressed dendrite formation. Consequently, the passivated Li@Cu anodes demonstrated a two-fold increase in cycle life compared to bare lithium controls and successfully enabled stable cycling in NMC-based cells.

Laser-assisted Surface Engineering for Anode-Free Lithium Metal Batteries and  Power-to-X Reactions

The research explores the application of laser treatment on copper foils (Cu), which is widely used as the substrate material for batteries, especially anode-free lithium metal batteries (AFLMB). AFLMB are a new type of electrochemical device that exhibits a higher energy density than typical lithium-ion batteries (LIB). AFLMB abandons conventional anode materials such as graphite, silicon, lithium titanium oxide, etc., and allows the lithium to be directly deposited on the copper surface. As a result, about 30% of the battery volume can be freed up and used for the cathode active material instead.  Laser processing Cu foil under various gas atmospheres to create functional passivating (CuxO) or lithiophilic layers (Cu3N) can be interesting and important for broadening the reliability and acceptance of AFLMB. It is hoped that the scientific outcomes of the collaboration can contribute to the understanding of lithium deposition on Cu foil and its related interfacial phenomena (e.g., SEI formation).

Self-assembled Plasmonic Nanostructures and their Applications in Photonics

Light can be manipulated with sub-wavelength structures, but conventional nanolithography is costly and limited in material quality. Self-assembly offers a bottom-up alternative, enabling atomic-scale control of monodisperse plasmonic nanoparticles synthesized by wet chemistry. Nanoparticles of silver, gold, and related materials exhibit localized surface plasmon resonances (LSPR), whose optical response depends on particle geometry and dielectric environment. By depositing nanoparticles onto patterned substrates and translating the surface during solvent evaporation, capillary forces trap particles in predefined locations. This approach enables assemblies ranging from densely packed clusters to isolated nanoparticles, allowing precise control of optical coupling. Resulting structures support applications such as surface-enhanced Raman scattering, surface lattice resonances, anticounterfeiting elements, photocatalysis enhancement, and distributed-feedback lasing in organic dye systems.

Linear and Nonlinear Optical Responses of Two-Dimensional Materials on Femtosecond-Laser-Written Metal Arrays

This work reports progress in integrating two-dimensional materials with periodic metal arrays fabricated by femtosecond direct laser writing. Gold, silver, and gold-silver alloy arrays with different periods and TiO2 thicknesses were characterized by polarization- and angle-resolved reflectance spectroscopy. Gold arrays with a period of 690 nm exhibited the clearest dispersive spectral features, which were compared with finite-element simulations. MoS2, WSe2, and hBN were subsequently transferred onto selected arrays. Reflectance measurements before and after MoS2 transfer revealed polarization-dependent spectral redistribution near the MoS2 exciton energy. WSe2-based samples showed second-harmonic signals at half the excitation wavelength, together with two-photon photoluminescence and polarization-dependent responses. These results establish an experimental platform for studying linear and nonlinear light-matter interactions in laser-written metal arrays and for evaluating their potential in nanoscale light sources.

Nanophotonics in sensing, nonlinear optics, and metadevices

Plasmonic nanostructures with their unique ability in confining strong electromagnetic fields into subwavelength regions have led to a great diversity of applications. We have utilized various designs to study plasmonic thermal emitters and surface-enhanced Raman scattering substrates. Recently, optical resonator arrays with spatially varying geometry and subwavelength separation known as metasurfaces demonstrate additional degree of freedom to accomplish polarization control and wavefront shaping. We employed integrated resonant units designs, which combine multi-nanorod configuration into one unit cell, to develop a broadband high efficiency polarized beam splitting metagrating working in the near infrared. Recently, the low-loss and high-index dielectric nanostructures provide an alternative platform to support multipolar resonances. The interference of multipolar modes leads to high quality-factor Fano resonances or quasi-bound states in the continuum, which are promising for the applications of refractive-index sensing and nonlinear optics.

A3-B5-Bi semiconductor microlasers for NIR photonic systems: technological progress and design innovation

The research on photonics solutions based on A3-B5-Bi compounds was conducted by FTMC together with NSYSU under the Taiwan-Lithuanian Cooperation Program. The main focus of this research was on the development of A3-B5-Bi semiconductor microlasers with characteristic wavelengths in the range of (800 ÷ 1100) nm. The joint research was carried out in two directions. First, by molecular beam epitaxy, the multiple quantum well structures emitting in the target spectral region were optimized for two material systems – classical AlGaAs and novel GaAsBi, in order to apply them in the gain field. Second, the development of the device structure was focused on enhancing the performance of the lasers. The innovative design tested in both material systems improved two key laser parameters: output power and threshold current. The project activities highlighted two main trends: (i) the parabolic barrier potential profile employed in both quantum well systems responsible for the laser wavelength has a significant impact on the optical efficiency and (ii) the emission of Bi-containing quantum structures is characterized by lower temperature sensitivity.
This research was funded by Research Council of Lithuania under Taiwan– Lithuania Cooperation Project “GaAsBi-based photonics solutions for hybrid photonics integrated circuits” (BiPho) 2024-2026 grant number S-LT-TW-24-8

Postprocessing-free 3D printing of glasses via multiphoton lithography for integrated optics

Integrated optical microsystems are key to next-generation communication, sensing, and quantum technologies, with the potential to exceed the capabilities of conventional microelectronics. Such systems rely on precise control of light, but creating optimal 3D micro-optics is challenging for conventional microfabrication technologies. Multiphoton lithography (MPL) offers nanoscale 3D printing capabilities, while efforts to extend MPL to high-performance glasses typically involve harsh high-temperature or chemical postprocessing that is incompatible with integrated microsystems. To address this, we explore the use of hydrogen silsesquioxane (HSQ), an inorganic precursor, for MPL. We demonstrate postprocessing-free 3D printing of solid silica glass and self-forming glass nanogratings with nanoscale resolution. These advances enable the direct integration of glass micro-optics on chips and optical fibers. We present functional 3D-printed glass optical devices, including on-chip ring resonators and photoluminescent sources, and fiber-tip refractive index sensors and polarization beam splitters, opening new avenues for high-performance optical microsystem integration.

Multimodal Multiphoton Microscopy Optimization and Applications

The ultrashort laser pulses provide a high-intensity field that could induce nonlinear optical effects. The multiphoton-excited signal and harmonic generation in the specimen, which occur at the focal plane of the objective, can be collected to reconstruct 3D images for functional and structural studies. However, the image contrast depends on laser focusing quality and background noise. By integrating the spatial-filtering grating, the stray light was successfully eliminated. Together with dispersion compensation and aberration correction, ultrashort laser pulse focusing could be optimized spatially and temporally for multiphoton excitation. Furthermore, fluorescence lifetime provides supplementary information that reveals microenvironmental variation and structural modification of the specimen. Therefore, multiphoton and fluorescence lifetime imaging show great potential for high-resolution, axially resolved biotissue and material applications using multimodal multiphoton microscopy.

From Pulse to Picture: Dispersion-Engineered NIR Femtosecond Lasers for Virtual Biopsy and Brain Imaging

Near-infrared femtosecond lasers enable deep, minimally invasive bioimaging by operating within favorable tissue-transmission windows, accessing molecule-specific vibrational overtone and combination-band signatures, and generating strong multiphoton contrast. We develop tunable femtosecond sources through investigation of nonlinear pulse compression, complemented by custom chirped-mirror dispersion engineering. Advanced ultrafast optics may provide precise dispersion management, spatiotemporal selection, and efficient delivery of compressed pulses to the sample. Integrated with multiphoton microscopy, this platform supports collaborative biological studies ranging from label-free skin virtual biopsy to high-resolution neuronal brain imaging. Together, these capabilities provide an end-to-end framework for femtosecond laser development, ultrafast optical design, microscopy integration, and biomedical validation.

Broad band mirrors using nanostructured thin films


Optical elements are continuously improving and are widely used in numerous laser systems. To enhance optical damage resistance and spectral performance, nanostructured thin films can be fabricated using the glancing angle deposition method. By combining porous layers of low refractive index material with conventional dense layers of high refractive index materials, the spectral performance of dielectric mirrors is significantly improved In particular, the induced porosity in silica layers enables the fabrication of broadband high reflectivity mirrors with low group delay dispersion (GDD), which is highly advantageous for ultrafast optical applications.
