The Einstein Telescope (ET) is Europe's future gravitational-wave observatory. The ETpathfinder research and development facility in Maastricht is testing key technologies for ET. One such technology is a novel laser source from Hannover.

The laser source was developed jointly by the @mpi_grav and @unihannover. Its light is now being used for the first time in the ETpathfinder's vacuum system.

These results will be instrumental in the development of future laser sources for gravitational-wave detectors, such as ET and the US Cosmic Explorer project.
