The proven laser solution for quantum applications
MDL pro
Modular, narrow linewidth, tunable diode laser
The MDL pro is the rack-integrated version of the DL pro. Based on more than 25 years experience in laser technologies, its unique design allows to provide almost all wavelengths between 369 nm and 1770 nm. Thousands of units have been produced so far, with power up to 400 mW and free running linewidth down to 0.6 kHz.
Its digital controller allows a stable performance, the GUI making the remote access easy. This laser is fully compatible with the extensive TOPTICA portfolio of driving electronics, software and accessories.
Your Benefits
An integrated system to save space
The MDL pro combines up to four narrow-linewidth tunable diode lasers in a compact 19” sub-rack, at wavelengths between 369 and 1770 nm. These are based on TOPTICA's DL pro or DFB pro lasers. All laser diodes from TOPTICA stock lists are available.
For all atoms and ions
Lasers at all laser wavelengths between 369 nm and 1770 nm to address most of the relevant optical transitions for quantum applications.
Narrow linewidth
The MDL pro patented mechanical design results in the suitable linewidth for the applications where a low frequency noise is required.
Stable operation through digital control
The digital platform DLC pro performs with low current noise, excellent temperature and precise piezo controls to unleash the full potential of your lasers.

Applications
Quantum computing & simulation
Lasers are used to realize most of the quantum systems used for quantum computing and simulation. Lasers are utilized to prepare quantum states, to realize quantum gates, and to read out qubits. In addtion, lasers are used to link different quantum systems (e.g. to connect quantum computers or quantum computing sububits), a major task of quantum communication. Tunable diode lasers, fiber amplifiers, optical frequency combs, and wavelength meters, ideally combined in laser rack systems as complete solutions, are the most important products.
Optical quantum clocks
Welcome to the next generation of time and frequency metrology. Harnessing the full power of quantum physics and ultra-stable lasers, optical quantum clocks are redefining how we measure time...
Quantum physics science
TOPTICA's products are widely and successfully used for scientific applications in fundamental quantum technology. In these fields quantum physics, quantum optics, atom optics, photonics, statistical physics and related fields are investigated in order to understand the basics of quantum technology.
Quantum dots & microcavaties
Highest stability and absolute frequency accuracy for inspecting PICs, semicon and RF devices. Expandable to high scan speed and broadest coverage.
Options
Lock option for DLC pro
Software license that enables a number of features on a specific DLC pro. These allow to control the frequency of a laser for example by using a saturated absorption spectroscopy setup with a reference cell.
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.
Motorization
The motorization of the coarse tuning offers manual control and operation via software interface. This option is available for most MDL pro laser systems (most AR laser diodes and some FP diodes) including MDL pro HP laser systems but not for MDL pro F systems.
Narrow linewidth
With this option MDL pro laser systems are optimized for narrow linewidths. It is also suited for seed lasers of TA or NLO systems, but not for MDL pro HP lasers. MDL pro F lasers are always optimized for a narrow linewidth.
19" rack Integration
Made for the TOPTICA T-RACK. Modular integration into 19" industry rack to save space and ensure mobility.
