HILIGHT Project Update – First Laser Fabricated

We are pleased to announce another major milestone for the HILIGHT Project.

The first custom 905 nm multi-section laser has now been successfully fabricated and will undergo initial characterisation at III-V Lab in the coming weeks.

This laser has been purpose-built for two-photon fluorescence lifetime imaging (2ph-FLIM) and represents a key step toward achieving faster, higher-precision excitation which is essential for the HILIGHT’s goal of advancing digital, time-resolved microscopy for clinical and research use.

Following characterisation, the laser modules will be delivered to project partners for integration with the detectors fabricated at FBK and system testing at Brunel University London and VIVASCOPE.

This achievement marks another major step forward in the development of the complete HILIGHT confocal FLIM platform.

We look forward to sharing further progress as integration and system validation continue across the consortium.
