Title

Optical Frequency Combs and Laser Systems for Real-World Applications 

Abstract

Historically, lasers with the appropriate linewidths, stability, and power levels for quantum applications have been designed by researchers and constrained to laboratories. Vescent has been working on increasing the ruggedization and improving the manufacturability of key laser systems, including optical frequency combs and narrow linewidth lasers, for quantum applications outside of the laboratory. An overview of how frequency combs work, how our customers use them, and current Vescent products and protoypes will be presented.
