Sr optical lattice clock optical circuit board, 461 nm
This is one of six optical circuit boards needed to construct a strontium optical lattice clock. This optical circuit board receives light from a 461-nm laser source and creates the laser beams required for a Zeeman slower, a magneto-optical trap, and fluorescence detection. The input is the fibre coupler on the right. It's light is split into three beams using half-wave plates and polarizing beam splitter cubes. Two of these beams are frequency shifted and intensity controlled by double-pass AOMs. The remaining beam is intensity controlled by a single-pass AOM. The three output beams are sent onwards through optical fibres.
