Chilas
Chilas produces compact laser sources for quantum experiments and communications components. The ATLAS range offers several wavelengths; its current QKD project work concerns embedding those sources into more mature systems.

What it does. Where it fits.
Semiconductor optical gain hybrid-integrated with silicon-nitride external-cavity photonics and electronic tuning.
Who should look closer
Quantum optics and QKD teams requiring tunable sources with documented electronic control.
QubitWire’s editorial assessment of practical fit.Laser modules and OEM components
Product pages provide configuration and sales enquiry; modules have a GUI and Python control route.
Check the current access route ↗What has been demonstrated
Supplier specifications and operational guidance quantify laser behavior. QUARTERNEXT identifies the planned QKD integration role.
What remains unresolved
Broad tuning range is not entirely mode-hop-free. The QUARTERNEXT source describes future integration and certification work, not completed network deployment or product certification.
The next question to watch
Report externally validated quantum-link performance using the integrated laser under declared stability and environmental conditions.
A research question, not a promised milestone.QubitWire coverage
