 Head Office 147 Hymus Boulevard Montreal, Quebec H9R 1E9 Canada See us at SPIE Photonics West 2025 in San Francisco, January 25–30 (booth 4823)! |  The ability to cool, manipulate and trap atoms using laser light has allowed a new, rapidly expanding field to emerge. Research is focusing on improving existing cooling techniques for applications ranging from atomic clocks, trapping Rydberg ions, studies of quantum degeneracy, spectroscopy, atomic interferometers, optics, lithography, and gravitational measurements. MPBC has provided high power single-frequency NIR Raman fiber amplifiers and up to 4 watts with visible Raman fiber amplifiers to leading research laboratories worldwide which target wavelengths previously unavailable. The flexibility of our technology allows us to develop sources with novel emission wavelengths for use in atomic physics research applications, where the need for both the preservation of single longitudinal mode and higher output power is a must. |
 all wavelengths. TOPTICA Photonics AGLochhamer Schlag 19 82166 Gräfelfing Germany See us at SPIE Photonics West 2025 in San Francisco, January 25–30 (booth 1527, 3501, 3603)! |  Atom optics is a challenging field for laser applications. Special or even customized lasers are needed with always changing demands according to the newest scientific research topics. TOPTICA is key supplier of such laser systems not only to Nobel Laureates but also to most research groups all around the world. Since more than a decade, we are well known for the quality of our products always at the front line of research and for our flexibility. |
 Solutions for Innovators NKT PhotonicsBregnerødvej 144 3460 Birkerød Denmark See us at SPIE Photonics West 2025 in San Francisco, January 25–30 (booth 3401)! |  Laser cooling and trapping is the cooling of atoms down to unprecedented kinetic temperatures and to confine and support isolated atoms in atom traps. This unique new level of control of atomic motion allows researchers to study the behavior of atoms and quantum mechanical properties. Our Koheras HARMONIK high-power frequency-converted laser systems are ideal for resonant laser cooling, where a precise wavelength is required to match a specific atomic/ion transition. |
 Optics, Photonics and Metrology Schäfter + KirchhoffKieler Str. 212 22525 Hamburg Germany See us at SPIE Photonics West 2025 in San Francisco, January 25–30 (booth 3456)! |  Schäfter+Kirchhoff offers fiber port clusters, which are compact,rugged opto-mechanical units that combine two fiber-coupled sources with same wavelengths and then splits the combined radiation into multiple output fiber cables with high efficiency and variable splitting ratio. |
