Rubidium Lasers

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.
