The Universal platform for quantum applications enables precise control of multiple lasers used for Position, Navigation and Time measurements or Atomic clocks. It builds Redwave Labs’ Universal Platform for Spectroscopic Instrumentation, adding capabilities to lock lasers to atomic or molecular transitions, control precise laser frequencies by offset locking. It retains all power, data processing, signal acquisition and control, data storage and external communications features.

All laser control modules are powered from a single 10-30V power source provided by backplane with integrated charging capabilities.
Up to three line lock and offset lock modules can be combined

Linux based Kontron CPU (COM Express) with additional high end FPGAs and MCUs allows to process all signals in real time.

Applications

Position, Navigation and Time measurements, Atomic clocks, Laser frequency stabilization, Portable laser instruments
