Photonically Integrated Cold Atom Sources (PICAS)
Coil PICAS
Features
- Coils for Fast Magnetic Field Generation
- Compact Opto-Mechanics
- Alignment-Free 2D+ MOT
- Integrated Heat Sink
- Available with Power Monitoring Photodiodes
- Design Wavelengths and Elements
- 780 nm (Rubidium)

By using the Coil PICAS, you can easily integrate optics into your Coil PICAS Mount Assembly for a 2D+ MOT system with a tunable magnetic field. This system is perfect for those who are looking for a complete MOT and BEC solution for their lab. Additionally, the optional photodiode configuration provides polarisation cleaning and power monitoring capability for all three beams.
Fixed PICAS
Features
- Compact Optics System
- Simple 2D MOT Alignment
- Pre-defined Polarisation
- Monitor laser power for automated process control
- Design Wavelengths and Elements
- 780 nm (Rubidium)
- 852 nm (Cesium)
The Fixed PICAS is a compact, alignment-free beam delivery package. It produces a 2D+ MOT beam configuration with three user-supplied fibre-coupled light inputs, capable of producing a cold atom flux of >10⁹ atoms per second when used with Infleqtion’s well-established CASC, Cold Atom Source Cell. The unit is easily integrated into the MAG-2000 magnet assembly, allowing a simple plug-and-play optical package.
An optional photodiode configuration provides polarisation cleaning and power monitoring capability for all three beams.
