TOPTICA have announced the introduction of an automated (re-)locking feature for their DFC Difference Frequency Comb that refines an expert process to a push-button solution.

With only one click TOPTICA’s DFC locks itself automatically to an optical reference, like a clock laser or a fiber link. With the incorporated automated relocking feature the system quietly takes care of itself in the background even if the lock is lost due to an external event.

Locking your laser system shouldn't require expert knowledge. With TOPTICA's automated locking technology, stable operation is just one click away. Control your system through a single, intuitive interface, automate workflows with the Python SDK, and spend less time operating your laser and more time focusing on your research.

TOPTICA DFC Difference Frequency Comb

Frequency combs are the robust and reliable backbone of cutting-edge experiments. This thought is guiding our frequency comb product development. It’s the shared vision with our customers, who want to focus more on the application and spend less time maintaining their system.

TOPTICA's DFC CORE + was designed to combine highest stability with reliability at the push of a button. With our award-winning CERO technology we achieve ultra-low noise performance while reducing complexity: The light waveform itself is fixed from pulse to pulse, by passively setting the carrier-envelope offset frequency fCEO to zero. No control loops, no electronic noise and orders of magnitude faster noise suppression compared to conventional frequency combs.

TOPTICA's DFC puracy is a cost-effective upgrade to the base DFC system which offers sub-kHz linewidth and long-term stability. 

With our complete frequency comb solutions, including seamless locking of all TOPTICA lasers, we don't deliver separate components but stable optical frequencies from the UV to the mid-IR. By that, even the most demanding applications like optical clock comparison and sub-Hz spectral purity transfer are enabled - reliable and easy to use.
