Rubidium Lasers

INTERNAL DRAFT — not for release. Remove this banner and confirm the flagged rows before this page goes public.

Every wavelength a rubidium experiment needs — cooling and imaging on the D2 line, gray molasses and Raman control on D1, lattice and tweezer trapping, and two-photon Rydberg excitation — from one single-frequency, PM, all-fiber platform.

Coverage across the rubidium spectrum

Markers show the wavelengths a rubidium experiment calls for. Bands beneath the axis show where QTekLaser™ generates light — by second-harmonic generation, sum-frequency generation, or directly from a single-frequency amplifier.

Where the D-line light comes from

The rubidium D lines are reached by frequency-doubling a telecom-band seed. That is why the 780 nm and 795 nm systems inherit the linewidth and noise of a single-frequency fiber laser rather than a diode.

Review notes

  • 297 nm and 420 nm are listed as custom on the strength of the “260–2040 nm achievable” claim. Confirm whether to advertise them, and at what power.
  • 810 nm falls between the SHG band (765–805 nm) and the SFG band (822–900 nm).
  • 1529 nm sits 1 nm below the stated Er band (1530–1610 nm) — either the band edge or this row needs adjusting.
  • 840 / 852 / 1013 nm powers are family maxima, not measured figures at those wavelengths.
  • The Applications dataset tags 852 nm as both Rb and Cs. 852 nm is the Cs D2 line — confirm the Rb tag is intended.
