Subsystem ‐ Laser Cooling and Detection

UMass Ion Trappers edited this page Feb 7, 2025 · 8 revisions

Laser Cooling and Detection Subsystem:

  1. ECDL - Extended Cavity Diode laser
  2. Isolator - Optical isolator and cylindrical lens pair
  3. Telescope - reduces laser beam waist
  4. Rb SAS - stabilizes the laser frequency using Saturation Absorption Spectroscopy
  5. Double Pass (focal length 50mm) - modulates laser intensity and frequency
  6. Fiber coupler - monitor wavelength with wavemeter
