Space-saving and rack-integrable modules for generating and controlling laser light pulses.
Use AQT’s ROWAN for shaping laser light with arbitrary amplitude, frequency and phase for your research applications.
ROWAN is a compact module consisting of an acousto-optic modulator (AOM) in double-pass configuration. Featuring the control of laser beam intensity, frequency shifting and modulation and generating arbitrary pulse sequences, makes it ideal for quantum information, quantum spectroscopy and quantum metrology applications. ROWAN enables a frequency shift of up to several hundreds of MHz, applicable wavelength ranges from UV to near NIR, transmission efficiency of up to 75% and an extinction ratio of larger than 60dB. Optionally, a mechanical shutter can be used to control the transmission of the 0th order laser beam.
ROWAN facilitates a small footprint
Space-saving integration of the modules is one main design goal. Up to six modules can be inserted, side by side, in a 19-inch rack only requiring 3 RU.
Full Control over amplitude, frequency and phase
AMO experiments rely on the precise control of the frequency, amplitude and phase of the laser light. Applications of our modules reach from switching laser light with less than 1 µs rise time, via pulse shaping, to controlling the phase of coherent light fields.
Covering a broad spectral range
Depending on the used atomic species, the control of different optical wavelengths is required. Our modules can be adapted to control customer-specific target wavelengths, covering a broad frequency spectrum ranging from UV to NIR.
DID YOU KNOW?
The ROWAN modules are used in our quantum computer PINE System for controlling coherent laser pulses and fits perfectly inside a standardized 19-inch rack. The PINE system requires only 2 full custom racks, runs in a comfortable room temperature environment and requires less than 2kW of power consumption.
