Description

High finesse Fabry-Pérot cavities, with or without vacuum chambers, for ultra-stable laser systems. The resonator spacer is made out of ultra-low expansion (ULE) glass. The mirror substrates can be ULE or fused silica (FS), while the mirror coatings are either standard ion-beam sputtering (IBS) or low thermal noise crystalline (XTAL) coatings. Menlo Systems is the exclusive distributor of optically contacted cavities with mirrors based on Thorlabs Crystalline Solutions’ technology. The compact design of the vacuum chamber minimizes experimental setup spatial demands while delivering state-of-the-art laser linewidth and stability. The ORS-Cubic-Cavity variant is based on the rigidly mounted 5 cm cubic cavity (3 GHz FSR, licensed NPL patented technology). The rigid mounting of the cubic cavity allows for the transportation of the cavity enclosure without the need for realignment. A PTB designed ORS-Cavity is based on a 12.1 cm cylindrical spacer (1.24 GHz FSR). A transportation locking mechanism enables fast installation after delivery, without the need for realignment. Access to the built in thermistor and Peltier elements is enabled via vacuum feedthroughs.

Options

ドップラー解除システム

コード: ORS-Doppler
光ファイバー(5または10 m以上)を介したサブヘルツの線幅の長距離伝送の場合、ORS出力の能動型の位相雑音補正をお勧めしています。これは温度変化やファイバー内の振動によって引き起こされる位相雑音の後方反射による測定に関連しており、これを位相ロックループによって能動的に補正します。
Frequency shifting AOM

Product Code: ORS-Frequency Shift
The ORS can be tuned over tens of picometers in steps of the free-spectral-range. To reach a specific frequency in-between these steps (e.g. the Strontium transition at 698 nm), an additional noise-free frequency shift is required using acousto-optic modulators. ORS-Frequency Shift provides the precise output at the desired frequency for the ORS.
二倍波

製品コード: 二倍波
目的の出力の半分の周波数で連続発振型レーザーをロックし、第2次高調波を発生させるのが有用な場合があります (例: SHGが698 nmのストロンチウム時計の遷移の1397 nm)。フリースペースまたはファイバー出射型により二倍波をORSシステムに統合できます。
