AOSense
AOSense was formed in 2004 by Brenton Young and Mark Kasevich to spin off innovative research developed at Stanford University, joined by Jim Spilker as Chairman. In 2006, AOSense was awarded its first prime contract from DARPA to design, build, and test a gravity gradiometer and single-axis accelerometer/gyroscope. Since then, AOSense has successfully designed and built state-of-the-art cold atom technology for numerous government-sponsored programs funded by DARPA, Air Force, Army, Navy, NASA, NSF, DTRA, and the intelligence community.

Product
Fiber Pigtailed Tapered Amplifier
-
The AOSense tapered amplifier (TA) provides a coherent high-power beam, inheriting all properties from the seed source. TA’s are an essential optical component for quantum sciences, such as laser cooling and trapping, cold atom sensors, electromagnetically induced transparency, and quantum spectroscopy. The TA is also used in commercial laser modules, including master oscillator power amplifier (MOPA) lasers and external cavity lasers.

Integrated Laser Controller
ILC
-
AOSense has developed a compact Integrated Laser Controller (ILC) that can be paired with our External Cavity Diode Lasers (ECDLs) to control laser current, piezo transducer (PZT), and temperature. The ultra-low noise electronics are fully digitally controlled. The ILC dimensions are only 5″x2.9″x0.95″. We provide software with an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) that can control multiple lasers from a single window. If preferred, commands may be sent over a USB virtual COM port. The software screenshot below (click the image to enlarge) shows the interface including a plot of the temperature (green line) as it settles to a commanded value.
