Integrated Photonic Hardware

Quantum experiments require optical systems that can connect laser sources to experimental platforms with high stability and precise control. In practice, this involves more than standard mirrors and lenses: beams must be shaped, routed, modulated, monitored, and interfaced across fibers, free-space optics, electro-optic devices, and mechanical assemblies. These interfaces often determine the reliability, repeatability, and long-term performance of an experiment. In this research area, POSM develops custom optical, electro-optic, and optomechanical hardware for quantum systems, including modulation assemblies, automated optical mounts, beam-routing modules, diagnostic hardware, and compact photonic subsystems for cold-atom and sensing experiments.
