Continuous-wave Ti:Saph Laser with Automated Second-harmonic-Generation Cavity

Beskrivning

SU intends to sign an agreement with M Squared Lasers regarding the purchase of a continuous-wave Ti:Saph Laser with a fully automated second-harmonic-generation cavity to provide laser light in the 350-500 nm wavelength range for the manipulation of quantum states in stored molecular ions. The laser from M Squared is the only one offering the necessary combination of high spectral resolution, fast and automated wavelength tuning across this entire range and sufficient laser power for the intended experiments (> 400 mW). These unique features are essential for studies of interactions between positive and negative molecular ions stored for extended time periods (of the order of seconds or longer) before their interaction.
