CASE STUDY: Single-Mode, Narrow Band Photon Source Using SPDC for Hybrid Quantum Systems Needs Wavelength’s Temperature Stability<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1607467794022{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Generating single-mode, narrow-band photons with high purity and brightness has proven to be difficult. Researchers at the University of Vienna have designed a photon source using Spontaneous Parametric Down-Conversion (SPDC) with a doubly resonant Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO) utilizing an additional birefringent crystal to tune clusters independent of SPDC phase-matching.<\/p>\n

The Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO) is\u00a0highly dependent on the temperature of the crystal<\/strong>. Changing temperature alters the index of refraction which changes the wavelength of the light. The crystal can also change length due to temperature, causing a shift in efficiency and cluster tuning capabilities.\u00a0Temperature regulation of both crystals in the OPO cavity is essential.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Wavelength Electronics’\u00a0PTC5K-CH<\/a>\u00a0controlled the temperature of the crystals in the OPO cavity with precision better than 2 mK, generating the necessary crystal stability.<\/p>\n

CASE STUDY: Room Temperature THz QCL Frequency Comb Needs Wavelength’s Excellent Temperature Stability and Low Noise<\/a><\/em><\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1607468099763{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Researchers at Northwestern University, Illinois have designed a terahertz (THz) frequency comb using a Quantum Cascade Laser (QCL) with a Distributed Feedback (DFB) grating inside the cavity. The DFB grating addition allows for dual wavelength emission from the QCL. A single-mode state and a harmonic comb state combine inside the cavity for a THz frequency comb. The device generates THz frequencies at room temperature without any external optical setup. This allows for a harmonic frequency comb at 3.0 THz with a range of 2.2 to 3.3 THz. With the single QCL dual wavelength emission, the THz comb is more stable than multiple sources. This devices enables a greater current dynamic range for harmonic comb operation, especially useful in spectroscopy applications. Two uses of QCL frequency combs demonstrated by researchers at Harvard University are also discussed.<\/p>\n

The QCLs operation state is highly dependent on the\u00a0injection current. Because the harmonic comb state is\u00a0accomplished with slightly more current than single-mode\u00a0state, it is crucial that the QCLs are properly and accurately\u00a0driven and have stable temperature control.\u00a0\u00a0Wavelength Electronics’\u00a0QCL2000 LAB<\/a>\u00a0QCL drivers provide the necessary\u00a0stability for harmonic frequency combs.\u00a0 Wavelength Electronics’\u00a0PTC10K-CH\u00a0<\/a>temperature controller\u00a0has\u00a0temperature stability of less than 0.0012\u00baC which surpasses\u00a0the required temperature stability of less than 10 mK in the\u00a0experiment.\u00a0At Harvard University, both studies use Wavelength Electronics’\u00a0TC5 LAB\u00a0to control the\u00a0temperature of the QCLs with the same noise levels listed for the Northwestern\u00a0University study.<\/p>\n

CASE STUDY: Differential Absorption LiDAR for NASA Ozone Mapping Requires Wavelength’s LD15CHA and PTC for Optimum Sensitivity<\/a><\/em><\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1607468152461{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]Knowing how much and where ozone is in our atmosphere is important to daily life on Earth. Ozone present in the stratosphere is critical to protecting life from harmful radiation, but ozone in the troposphere is detrimental. NASA has created a network specifically tasked with measuring and mapping the ozone in the troposphere. This will allow researchers to analyze potential dangers with ozone levels and propose solutions to these problems.\u00a0Bridger Photonics<\/a>\u00a0has developed a Differential Absorption LiDAR (DIAL) system for this network to measure ozone concentrations in an altitude range of 5 – 8 km in a compact, easy-to-use, and commercially available device. With final ultraviolet wavelength energies of 200 \u03bcJ (at 1 kHz repetition rate), Bridger Photonics has designed a high power output, low power consumption, and fast repetition rate solution to ozone concentration measurement.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0PTC10K-CH<\/a>\u00a0provides stable thermoelectric current to control the temperature of the laser diode arrays and the nonlinear crystal. This controller delivered the precision performance and long-term reliability Bridger Photonics required. The\u00a0LD15CHA<\/a>\u00a0delivers up to 15 A of output current to the laser diode arrays which pump the solid state laser. Because Bridger Photonics operates the driver near limit, it is important that the output current never exceed the setpoint. The LD15CHA can be configured (setpoint and limit) without output current enabled.<\/p>\n
