Description

Auto-translated from German

At the Institute for Quantum Technology in Ulm, a laser system is needed to build a quantum memory test system with rubidium gas. To build a quantum memory, two laser diodes with narrow linewidth are required. These two lasers must be operated at slightly different frequencies, precisely adjusted to each other, to first address the 'signal transition' and then the 'control transition' in rubidium-87. The lasers must excite two specific transitions of the D1 line of rubidium-87. At least one of the two lasers must be stabilized to one of the two atomic lines; the second laser is operated either on the other line or preferably phase-coupled with the first laser under a frequency offset of 6.835 GHz (so-called 'offset locking'), whereby this coupling is controlled by a microwave frequency reference. Both lasers must be coordinated, which is why a common control is required. Further information can be found in the attached service description (contract documents).
