Buying Optical Frequency Standards

Top-level product category: applications

More general product categories: optical metrology equipment

Related product categories: optical clocks, narrow-linewidth lasers, single-frequency lasers, reference cavities

Active optical frequency standards provide light with highly stable optical frequencies, essential for optical clocks. Passive standards precisely analyze the optical frequency of given light beams.

Making Good Purchase Decisions

RP Photonics helps you to not only to find all relevant suppliers, but also to make good purchasing decisions.

NEW: Structured Decision Process

We recommend that you apply best practice by using the following structured process: Go through the following expandable sections, complete the form and finally come to a purchase decision. You can then print that to a PDF for documenting the process.

(Various further improvements of this feature will come soon.)

1. Learn about the technology

It is important to sufficiently understand the technology before buying.

2. Define your requirements

It is important to fully understand and define your requirements before you buy.

We recommend that for your preparation and for inquiries to suppliers, you draw up a list of clear specifications according to your specific needs:

To help you, we have already listed some aspects we recommend you consider when buying optical frequency standards. Of course, there may be other aspects that are relevant to your specific case.

Otherwise, you will need to talk to your technical colleagues.

If you check this, the criteria will be inserted into the inquiry mail if below you use a button titled "Get quotation".

3. Find suppliers

We suggest three steps:

  • Below, you can find our list of suppliers for optical frequency standards. Use the checkboxes (or just click somewhere on the text) to mark possibly suitable suppliers.
  • The selected suppliers will appear below this list, along with your list of specifications. You can then use the checkboxes to indicate which specifications they meet according to your research.
  • Based on the results, you can choose a supplier that is hopefully a good enough fit.
