Ten64
Laser Source

Ultra-Stable Single-Frequency,
Single-Mode Laser Source
at 1064 nm Wave­length

The Ten64 is the world’s lowest-noise NPRO (Non-Planar Ring Oscillator) laser — setting new standards for the performance of single-frequency solid-state lasers at a wavelength of 1064 nm.

Its exceptional power and frequency stability make it the perfect laser source for precision metrology, quantum optics, and all applications where noise performance is critical. With a continuous-wave output power of up to 400 mW, it offers both the power and reliability required for demanding experiments.

Significant advances in design and specially optimized noise suppression systems enable the Ten64 to achieve a noise level more than ten times lower than that of previously available NPRO lasers. Combined with its state-of-the-art control unit and customizable interfaces, it can be seamlessly integrated even into the most complex optical systems.

TwinPD
Photodetector

Ultra-Low-Noise Balanced Photodetector
for Homodyne Detection
and Precision Laser Stabilization

The TwinPDs are balanced photodetectors featuring back-to-back orientated, socket-mounted photodiodes — engineered for the most demanding applications in balanced homodyne detection.

Every TwinPD is individually tailored to your requirements for wavelength, bandwidth, quantum efficiency and optical power range.

With decades of experience in detector design we are able to reduce the detector’s intrinsic noise well below the signal levels required to resolve your measurements. We are always eager to take on new challenges and continuously push the limits of detector sensitivity.

We also offer fully custom-designed single-element photodetectors. Please contact us to discuss your requirements.

With decades of experience in world-leading squeezed-light research and advanced laser stabilization, we continue to push the boundaries of precision measurement technology. Our expertise allows us to design and deliver products that meet the highest performance standards in modern quantum optics and photonics research.

We are expanding our portfolio to provide even more specialized solutions for your laboratory, including:

• Ultra-low-noise readout electronics for sensitive optical signal detection (TwinPD and MonoPD)
• High-precision components and subsystems tailored to quantum optics and other demanding experimental setups

These developments are engineered to help you measure at — and beyond — the quantum noise limit, unlocking new levels of sensitivity, stability, and performance in your experiments.

We welcome your inquiries, ideas, and technical challenges. Let’s explore customized solutions optimized for your specific application—because your experiments deserve equipment that adapts to you.
