Modular, narrow linewidth, tunable diode laser
The proven laser solution for quantum applications
MDL pro
Modular, narrow linewidth, tunable diode laser
The MDL pro is the rack-integrated version of the DL pro (hyperlinl to DL pro page). Based on our +25 years experience in laser technologies, its unique design allows to provide almost all wavelengths between 369 nm and 1770 nm. Thousands of units have been produced so far, with power up to 400 mW and free running linewidth down to 0.6 kHz.
Its digital controller allows a stable performance, the GUI making the remote access easy. This laser is fully compatible with the extensive TOPTICA portfolio of driving electronics, software and accessories.
Your Benefits
An integrated system to save space
The MDL pro combines up to four narrow-linewidth tunable diode lasers in a compact 19” sub-rack. The MDL pro integrates tunable single-mode laser modules at wavelengths between 369 and 1770 nm. These modules are based on TOPTICA's DL pro or DFB pro lasers. Up to four individual modules can be selected and combined freely in the MDL pro. All laser diodes from TOPTICA stock lists are available.
For all atoms and ions
Lasers at all laser wavelengths between 369 nm and 1770 nm to address most of the relevant optical transitions for quantum applications.
Narrow linewidth
The MDL pro patented mechanical design results in the suitable linewidth for the applications where a low frequency noise is required.
Stable operation through digital control
The digital platform DLC pro performs with low current noise, excellent temperature and precise piezo controls to unleash the full potential of your lasers.
Top sellers to save time
Our Top Sellers are pre-configurated to provide ready-to-use lasers at the relevant wavelengths.
Options
Lock option for DLC pro
Software license that enables a number of features on a specific DLC pro. These allow to control the frequency of a laser for example by using a saturated absorption spectroscopy setup with a reference cell.
Locking and other electronics modules
For DLC pro, the versatile DLC pro LOCK option is available as well as FALC pro and PDH/DLC pro modules. With DLC ext a number of analog locking modules is available.
