Atomic physics experiment rely on using lasers to manipulate atomic samples, and such laser systems require a high degree of isolation and control.

Abstract

Atomic physics experiment rely on using lasers to manipulate atomic samples, and such laser systems require a high degree of isolation and control. In this work, I will design and build an isolated laser system for the trapped ion experiment developed at the Quantum Lab of the Physics department. In the system, lasers are housed in an acoustically insulated cabinet to minimize noise and vibration, ensuring stable performance, and are assembled in a compact setup that maximizes space efficiency. Additionally, I will develop a mechanical template for acousto-optic modulators (AOMs) in a double-pass configuration, a common optical design for precise timing and frequency control of the laser beams. This project offers an opportunity to gain hands-on experience in optical engineering and atomic physics experiments.
