Laser Lock Box

The Moku Laser Lock Box is a complete, FPGA-based laser locking system. It replaces multiple separate components with a single, easy-to-use device, reducing distortion and insertion loss and simplifying the locking process.

The Laser Lock Box provides an array of customisation and automation features to quickly and precisely lock your laser.

Below is the Laser Lock Box’s user interface showcasing some of the key features explained below:

Key Features of the Laser Lock Box:

High-performance frequency stabilisation without the clutter

The Moku Laser Lock Box replaces all the constituent pieces of a laser locking system — waveform generators, phase shifters, demodulators, filters, and PID controllers — minimising the physical footprint and reducing cost.

With high-performance digital signal processing and an easy-to-use interface, Moku delivers an all-in-one solution for laser frequency stabilisation.

 

Block diagram view for enhanced efficiency

Visualize and configure your control system and observe every step in the signal processing chain using the embedded Oscilloscope.

Use options such as conditional triggering, synchronised scanning, filtering, and configurable output limiters — all designed specifically for cavity stabilisation systems.

 

Reconfigurability to adapt to your locking technique

From PDH locking to dither locking, integrate the Laser Lock Box in with your setup for faster, easier stabilisation. Easily lock lasers to a cavity with limited manual intervention using Lock Assist. Tap to instantly lock on to any zero crossing on the demodulated error signal.

 

Optimised for optics labs

With Moku software for iPad and Apple Vision Pro, you’re not tethered to your workstation. Move freely throughout the lab, adjust optical components, and debug your system before locking. Switch back to the desktop app for monitoring or data collection and analysis.

 

Easily integrate into your preferred software

API integration with Python, MATLAB, and LabVIEW allows straightforward automation of the Moku Laser Lock Box in complex setups or for repetitive tasks. Save your measurements, screenshots, traces, and other settings locally or directly to the cloud.

 

Applications:

  • Quantum optics
  • Raman spectroscopy
  • Gravitational wave detection
  • Atomic physics
  • Dark matter detection
