VM Photonics GmbH, a spin-off from the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) and Leibniz University Hannover, offers ultra-precise laser light for optical measurements that is ten times purer and more stable than comparable products. Potential applications include measuring gravitational waves, monitoring climate change from space, generating squeezed light and searching for dark matter.
Both company founders, Henning Vahlbruch and Fabian Meylahn, are QuantumFrontiers members and have successfully completed the FoundersClass workshop series of the QuantumFrontiers Entrepreneur Excellence Programme (QuEEP). The aim of QuEEP is to support cluster members in the early start-up phase so that cutting-edge research from QuantumFrontiers can be quickly and efficiently transferred into application.
