This project explores the possibility of creating lasers from living cells, merging biology with photonics. By integrating microscopic resonators within cells, it aims to develop biocompatible lasers that could revolutionize biophotonics and reduce reliance on traditional laser technologies.
Can a living cell be turned into a laser?
By aiming to coalesce biological cells with laser light, the most versatile tool that modern photonics has developed, LIVING LASERS explores entirely new ways to develop fully biocompatible lasers.
The ability of vitamins, bacteria and even living cells to generate laser light has been recently demonstrated by the supervisor of the project, Prof Malte Gather.
However, these and other experiments with active biological gain media are so far limited by the…
