Modular opto-mechanics breadboard unit

Where custom optics finally feel at home

MOM

Modular opto-mechanics breadboard unit

TOPTICA’s Laser Rack Systems have been designed for clearing optical tables and for more economical use of valuable lab space. For many applications, dedicated optics, mechanics or electronics are an integral part of the complete system solution. The MOM offers space to researchers and system integrators according to their specific needs.
The passively vibration-isolated breadboard provides the advantages known from optical tables, but in a 19” form factor optimized for rack integration. Therefore, it represents the ideal supplement for TOPTICA’s Modular Laser Systems like MDL pro, MTA pro, MSHG pro, MCLS and MDFC. T-RACK integration of these laser systems together with one or a few MOMs typically allows researchers and system integrators to save a fully equipped optical table.
The MOM is equipped with a full-extension pull-out mechanism and dynamic cable management both ensuring easy access to the custom optics.

Applications

Atom laser cooling & trapping

Over the last century, many experiments and theoretical studies on matter waves and the interaction between light and atoms have paved the way to modern atom optics and its application in research & industry.

Ion laser cooling & trapping

Explore how TOPTICA’s laser systems enable cooling and trapping of charged ions — the backbone of today’s quantum-precision experiments.

Degenerate quantum gases (BEC, DFG)

Creating Bose-Einstein condensates and degenerate Fermi gases requires sophisticated laser cooling and trapping capabilities. Our integrated laser solutions support the multi-stage cooling processes necessary for reaching ultracold temperatures where quantum effects dominate, enabling exploration of exotic quantum phases and many-body physics.

Quantum computing & simulation

Lasers are used to realize most of the quantum systems used for quantum computing and simulation. Lasers are utilized to prepare quantum states, to realize quantum gates, and to read out qubits. In addtion, lasers are used to link different quantum systems (e.g. to connect quantum computers or quantum computing sububits), a major task of quantum communication. Tunable diode lasers, fiber amplifiers, optical frequency combs, and wavelength meters, ideally combined in laser rack systems as complete solutions, are the most important products.
