Purchase of Mode Hop free tuneable CW laser
Notice Description
Cardiff University is looking into purchasing a Mode Hop free tuneable CW laser.
Lot Information
Lot 1
Cardiff University is looking into purchasing a Mode Hop free tuneable CW laser. They will use this laser to resonantly drive a semiconductor single quantum dot in the range 910-940nm. The laser must be able to tune continuously over quantum dot transitions. Some lasers "mode hop" (jump in wavelength) and supplier must ensure this product is mode-hop free over the widest range. The laser must have a time-averaged linewidth of less than 1MHz and coarse wavelength setting of less than 0.1nm, in addition to the mode hope free tuning. It should include an optical isolator to prevent back-reflections and have single mode fibre coupling launch 940HP or similar fibre with more than 10mW over the full range of 910-940nm. These parts can be quoted separately, if appropriate. PC control of coarse wavelength tuning, fine piezo wavelength tuning, and intensity should be available over USB, GPIB, ethernet or similar. The supply should include GUI and LabVIEW VIs for remote PC control, a laser interlock connection and/or interlocked shutter. The power supply should be compatible with a UK single phase socket.
