TITLE: Picosecond Laser

Requesting Laboratory / Division / Group:

Communications Technology Laboratory Quantum Communications Division Quantum Networks Architecture and Protocols Group (676.02)

General Statement of Need:

This acquisition aims to procure a picosecond pulsed laser that can be synchronized with quantum network clocks. Such a laser is critical for generating entangled photon pairs and enabling entanglement swapping between network nodes. This compact laser will serve as the pump for a nonlinear crystal, facilitating spontaneous parametric down-conversion (SPDC) to generate entangled photons. The laser must possess key features, including external clock synchronization, single-mode operation, and near transform-limited pulse widths to ensure the generation of high-quality indistinguishable single photons. As the network scales, additional sources must remain compact and modular, making the laser’s form factor small and ease of operation (e.g., turnkey solution) essential.
