"From Lab to Orbit": Compact VCSEL-Powered NMR Gyroscope Ready for Space Navigation

Source: Research in Germany, 31.01.2026

Within the BMFTR-funded project QYRO (Kernspin-basierte Quantengyroskope für New Space Anwendungen), the consortium has qualified 795 nm VCSELs (vertical cavity surface emitting lasers) as pump-and-probe laser sources for an NMR gyroscope with reduced SWaP for satellite navigation.
