Strontium Lasers

Strontium runs on a narrow-line cooling scheme and an optical clock transition, with a magic-wavelength lattice at 813 nm. The wavelengths below cover the blue MOT, the red MOT, the clock line, the triplet repumps and lattice and tweezer trapping.

Coverage across the strontium spectrum

Markers show the wavelengths a strontium 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.
