MDL pro

Modular, narrow linewidth, tunable diode laser

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

Saving space

The MDL pro combines up to four narrow-linewidth tunable diode lasers in a compact 19” sub-rack. These are based on TOPTICA's DL pro or DFB pro lasers.

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.

Ready-to-order configurations

Our standard laser configurations are simple to order and ready to use for your quantum experiment. Some of these Top Sellers are available from stock for shorter delivery times. If you don't find what you are looking for, you can always assemble a user-defined system.

The right diodes

A large variety of wavelength-selected single-mode laser diodes for your lasers, from standard wavelengths to exotic ones.

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 addition, lasers are used to link different quantum systems (e.g. to connect quantum computers or quantum computing subunits), 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.

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.

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 dots & microcavaties

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

Control coarse tuning via software interface. Available for most MDL pro configurations, with most AR laser diodes and some FP diodes. Not available 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.
