We are looking for 3 dipole lasers for creating the optical dipole trap of strontium. • Target operation wavelength of 1 μm to 1.5 μm. All specifications will be referenced at the wavelength unless otherwise specified. • Fiber laser will operate in continuous wave (cw) mode. Laser should be a fully automatic system ready to operate with a push of button or mouse click and enabling 24/7 operation which should be noise free without affecting any nearby device. • Output power greater than or equal to 15 watts. • Spectral width less than 20 kHz. • Noise of 0.02% RMS or better between 100 Hz and 10 MHz. • Long term power stability of ±2% or better. • TEM00 output with an M2 of 1.1 or better (closer to 1). • Output polarization either horizontal or vertical with an extinction ratio of 50:1 or better. • Physical dimensions of the laser head could be approximately 50cm x 45 cm x 15cm (l x w x h). • The laser should have full computer software support. • Computer control should have an easy integration with labview and python based programming languages. Overall budget for this item is up to £78,000 excluding VAT. This project may be funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) or; - European Structural and Investment Fund (ESIF) or; - Research Councils UK (RCUK), the strategic partnership of the UK's seven Research Councils.
