FLAME: Frequency Stabilised Laser

FLAME: Frequency – Stabilised Laser Modules with Integrated Reference Cell

FLAME is a compact, frequency-stabilised laser module with integrated vapour cell that allows locking to spectral features of an atomic reference. This first FLAME product addresses transitions of Rubidium around 780 nm that are key to applications in Quantum Technologies.

The FLAME laser meets these challenges by moving beyond the established norms of laboratory-based scientific lasers and instead making use of packaging techniques more normally employed in the manufacture of high-reliability telecoms devices. Alter Technology UK space-qualified processes are utilised to minimise size and maximise stability and reliability.

The FLAME development program was initiated with support from Innovate-UK.

The resulting laser module lends itself to usage in applications both in the lab and within robust portable instruments. The FLAME is ideally suited for laser cooling, trapping, and repumping. These operations are key to many Quantum Technology applications based upon cold atoms, such as atomic clocks, gravimeters, and inertial navigation units

The 780nm FLAME laser is the first product in Alter Technology UK’s new Narrow-Linewidth Lasers product line. Contact us at info@uk.altertechnology.com for more details and to discuss your requirements for FLAME and for narrow-linewidth lasers in general.

The FLAME product has been developed in conjunction with Alter Technology UK’s technology partner, Fraunhofer UK, at the Fraunhofer Centre for Applied Photonics, Glasgow, UK.
