MTA pro

Modular, amplified, narrow linewidth diode laser

For those who want high power for quantum applications without compromising on laser noise

MTA pro

Modular, amplified, narrow linewidth diode laser

The MTA pro combines up to two MTA TA pro amplified laser systems into a 19” sub-rack and seamlessly integrates into the T-RACK or other suitable 19” racks. The modular design also enables integration of MTA BoosTA pro amplifier only modules or DL/DFB pro laser modules. MTA pro integration of the latter may help to avoid an extra MDL pro and comes with additional features and options.

Like all building blocks of TOPTICA’s Laser Rack Systems, the MTA pro is designed to clear optical tables and to stow away lasers into a 19" form factor. It is ideally suited for integration into TOPTICA Laser Rack Systems that allow researchers to focus on their experiment rather than on their laser system.

When operated in TOPTICA’s T-RACK, the MTA pro has the same optical specifications as a fiber-coupled TA pro system. On top of that, it always includes AutoAlign, a fully-automated push-button coupling optimization into the tapered amplifier and the optical output fibers. Moreover, MTA pro supports output power stabilization.

The MTA pro modular laser unit features a full-extension pull-out mechanism and dynamic cable management, both ensuring easy access to the laser modules. Moreover, it offers passive vibration isolation decoupling the lasers from the environment. The unit consumes a total of 4 Rack Units (RU) in height, including an extra 1 RU blanking front panel recommended for thermal isolation between laser units. Optical output is fiber-delivered allowing for flexible laser light delivery wherever required.

The MTA pro laser modules are controlled with TOPTICA’s DLC pro. Its digital architecture enables low-noise laser operation, intelligent locking functions and remote control via Ethernet.

We make sure that all components are made for each other, resulting in the best possible laser system for your application.

Flexibility by modular design

The laser head and electronics are very flexible by design and can be extended by many options and modifications.

Reliable & stable

A sophisticated thermal and mechanical design ensures maximum stability and reliability.

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.

Atom quantum computing & simulation

Atoms are excellent quantum systems for both quantum computing and quantum simulation. They can be ultimately controlled in all of their quantum states and even millions..

Brilloin microscopy

Brillouin microscopy is a non-invasive optical technique that uses light to measure the mechanical properties (like stiffness) of living cells and tissues. It works by analyzing the tiny frequency shifts in scattered light caused by interactions with the material's internal vibrations, providing a high-resolution, label-free way to visualize how cells and tissues respond to mechanical forces. This technique is used in fields like cancer and eye research for its ability to provide quantitative information about mechanical properties in a living system without causing damage.

Options

Narrow linewidth

Suited for many DL pro type seed lasers.

Motorization

The motorization of the coarse tuning offers manual control and operation via software interface. This option is available for most DL pro seed lasers.

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.
