The world’s most sensitive absorption microscope

QlibriNANO is the world’s most sensitive absorption microscope (1,000 times more sensitive than state-of-the-art), enabling the detection, imaging, characterization, understanding and development of nanoscale matter on a new level by its unique combination of fast and ultrasensitive hyperspectral imaging. QlibriNANO gives access to a so-far inaccessible area of information relevant for research fields like nanoparticles, optical coatings, thin films, among others, making the invisible visible for the first time. Our innovation rests on the usage of an optical microresonator instead of a conventional objective. We have untapped this possibility, since Qlibri has developed a breakthrough fabrication method of micromirrors based on a semiconductor quantum cascade laser system. This proprietary method has allowed Qlibri to become the first company in the world to commercialize micromirrors, a key component for our first-of-its-kind resonator microscope. Qlibri’s unique blend of expertise, combining a profound know-how in microresonators and deep understanding of microscopy, particularly raster scanning techniques, has made it possible to make a technology transfer from Quantum optics to optical microscopy to develop QlibriNANO. The great market potential of our disruptive resonator microscope has been confirmed by more than 20 prospective customers. This EIC Transition project has the objective of validating the product-market fit for the nanotechnology and optical coatings markets, improving the technical requirements (mostly fast spectroscopy) of our system as well as the usability, and validating these technological improvements with end users in these sectors (TRL 6). Moreover, we aim to improve the manufacturability of QlibriNANO, and ensure a cost-efficient, scalable and reliable manufacturing. Upon accomplishment of these objectives, Qlibri will be in a good position to raise the necessary funds to tackle the TRL 7-9 activities and reach the market by 2027. ver más
