UHV glass cells for cold atom and quantum experiments
The UHV glass cells from Infleqtion combine ultra-high vacuum compatibility with high-quality optical access to the experiment. They were specifically developed for applications with cold and ultracold atoms, where low optical distortions, high transmission, and reliable vacuum properties are crucial.
The cells are suitable, among other things, for Magneto-Optical Traps (MOT), Bose-Einstein Condensates (BEC), optical tweezers, high-resolution imaging, and other experiments in atomic and quantum optics.
High optical quality
Infleqtion manufactures the glass cells using Optical Contacting. This allows high optical flatness and high-quality AR coatings to be combined with the requirements of a UHV system.
In the case of the High-NA Imaging Cells, a high parallelism of the large cell areas ensures low astigmatic aberrations. As a result, imaging and light projection through two cell areas with numerical apertures of up to N/A 0.7 possible.
Different cell configurations
Depending on the application, various designs are available:
- High-NA Imaging Cells for high-resolution imaging and optical tweezer applications
- 2 cm AR-Coated Cells with interior and exterior AR-coated cell walls
- 2 cm Thin-Walled Cells as an economical, uncoated UHV variant
For the AR-coated cells, broadband coatings from 460 to 1070 nm, coatings tuned to Rb, Cs, and K, as well as customer-specific coatings are available.
UHV-compatible design
The cells are designed for high bakeout temperatures. Infleqtion uses in the corresponding designs no epoxies or glass frits, resulting in very good UHV and outgassing properties.
Depending on the cell type, available options include DN16-CF and DN40-CF connections available for integration into existing vacuum systems.
