Diode laser

The Compact Laser Diode System (CLDS) is a fully functional fiber- coupled laser system that operates from a simple dc power supply. The diode laser is fiber-coupled to control ellipticity, astigmatism, and divergence. The CLDS also benefits from fiberoptic remote delivery, stable pointing, and beam circularity. The system can replace HeNe lasers in some applications.

A diagram shows NIST’s ion trap used for reversible “quantum squeezing” to amplify and measure ion motion. The ion (white ball) is confined 30 microns above the trap surface by voltages applied to the eight gold electrodes and the two red electrodes. Squeezing--that reduces the uncertainty of motion measurements--is achieved by applying a specific signal to the red electrodes. The ion is moved by applying another type of signal to one of the gold electrodes. Then the squeezing is reversed, and the blue electrodes generate magnetic fields used to decode the amplified motion measurements.
