Laser System Technology for Quantum Optics Experiments in Space — •Kai Lampmann1, Moritz Mihm1, André Wenzlawski1, Ortwin Hellmig6, Markus Krutzik2, Achim Peters2, Patrick Windpassinger1, and The MAIUS Team1,2,3,4,51Institut für Physik, JGU Mainz — 2Institut für Physik, HU Berlin — 3FBH, Berlin — 4IQO, LU Hannover — 5ZARM, Bremen — 6ILP, UHH Hamburg

Numerous applications of quantum optics demand for operating experiments in extreme environments. Leaving the lab poses strict requirements to the experimental systems, especially the laser systems, in terms of miniaturization, power consumption, and mechanical and thermal stability. We follow a hybrid approach to build laser systems that can overcome these issues.

Optical bench systems using a set of specially designed freespace optics based on glass ceramics are combined with fiberintegrated components like splitters, modulators or resonators. Our systems fulfill all different functions such as laser frequency stabilization, switching and distribution of laser light.

Successful sounding rocket missions show that our systems can overcome the extreme loads of a rocket launch and that we are able to bring laser systems into space.

Our work is supported by the German Space Agency DLR with funds provided by the Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) under grant numbers 50 WP 1433 and 50 WM 1345, 1646.
