Single-frequency VECSEL systems for quantum applications

Trapped-ion and neutral atom platforms are among the most advanced quantum computing technologies, offering key advantages necessary for the realization of practical quantum computers. Despite their differences, both approaches are heavily reliant on high-performance laser systems. To meet the growing demand for high-power, narrow-linewidth lasers across a broad spectral range, Modulight introduces a next-generation VECSEL platform. It features improved SWaP-C characteristics coupled with high degree of environmental insensitivity, robustness and reliability while outputting tens of Watts — key attributes for supporting the scalability of qubit systems. A distinctive advantage of the VECSEL platform is its inherent flexibility, allowing for the integration of multiple laser cores within the same sub-system form factor. This capability is realized in the ML6600 laser system, which can simultaneously deliver multiple wavelengths tailored to the specific requirements of atomic and ionic species such as barium, rubidium, and ytterbium. This integrated, multi-wavelength approach provides a scalable and versatile laser solution for current and future quantum computing architectures.
