DL pro

Tunable external cavity diode lasers for cooling and controlling all atoms and ions

  • Intelligent locking to absorption lines or HighFinesse wavelength meters
  • Convenient local and remote operation (with DLC pro)
  • Efficient atom cooling with narrow linewidth down to 0.6 kHz free running
  • Linewidth below 1 Hz possible with lock to external reference cavity on selected wavelengths

The DL pro is a reliable ECDL laser for almost all wavelengths between 369 nm and 1770 nm. With power up to 400 mW and free running linewidth down to 0.6 kHz, the DL pro is a proven solution for most QT applications. Its digital controller allows a stable performance, the GUI making remote access easy, which is very convenient when the  DL pro rack version is requested. It is fully compatible with the extensive TOPTICA portfolio of tunable diode lasers, driving electronics, software and accessories.

 

 

DL pro
The lab standard for cooling and controlling all atoms and ions

The DL pro is the lab standard for all atoms and ions. For quantum experiments and applications the DL pro offers a plug and play laser. The system has a long legacy in laboratories and quantum companies worldwide. Wavelengths for all important atoms and ions are available, as well as the possibility to upgrade your system later, e.g. with our FALC pro fast laser locking module for linewidth narrowing. Up to 4 lasers can be operated with one DLC pro laser controller.

DL pro HP
Ideal for power hungry atoms and ions

The high power variant of the established DL pro features a special resonator design, which allows for higher output powers from laser diodes in the visible range. Like the DL pro, it features various modulation inputs and may be equipped with various options like fiber coupling, beam shaping etc. The DL pro HP is ideal for power hungry atom and ion trapping and cooling applications. For example, the Strontium transition at 461 nm can be addressed with more than 400 mW of power after optical isolator.

DL pro F
Superb locking performance for clock transitions

With the DL pro F locking is faster than ever, laying the foundation for the next generation quantum technology. The F variant of our DL pro features an intra-cavity EOM which provides two feedback channels. One is used for fast adjustments to ensure the superb locking performance, the other guarantees the high robustness of the lock. One of many applications is addressing the Ca+ clock transition at 729 nm, while reducing the phase noise around the carrier.

DL pro SMC
The care-free laser system for quantum computing offers extended active mode stability thanks to the new SAFE feature. It saves settling time in experiments and makes commercial quantum computers resistant to mode hopping. The available wavelength range extends to the blue spectral region.

DL pro BFY
Withstanding pressure fluctuations, ideal for transportable systems

The hermetically sealed butterfly package and the compact design of the resonator allow for the best passive mode stability and robustness within the DL pro family. It is especially suitable for applications where a care-free operation of the lasers is required. It can even run as an outdoor system, equipped with temperature stabilization, to withstand massive winds and pressure fluctuations.
