Leading Products

SmartComb

SmartComb is an optical metrology system in a revolutionary compact package. In just 19” 3U it features the first fully automated turn-key optical frequency comb designed and built for use both in- and outside the optics lab. It measures your optical frequency anywhere between 630-2000 nm.

ORS Mini

The rack-mountable Ultrastable Laser System is designed for field applications and OEM integration. It delivers ultra-narrow linewidth laser light with excellent frequency stability. The system’s centerpiece is a high-finesse Fabry-Pérot cavity serving as a reference for a CW laser. The cavity is made out of ultra-low expansion glass (ULE) and is operated in vacuum at the point of zero thermal expansion.

UMS-Compact

Photonic microwave technology represents a paradigm shift in microwave signal synthesis. This groundbreaking advancement is the first commercially-available photonic microwave source that utilizes the phase-coherent division of high-fidelity optical signals into the microwave domain. By employing this innovative approach, we can drastically reduce optical phase noise to levels that were previously physically impossible.

ELMO 780 XHP

This high-power femtosecond fiber laser delivers up to 1.5 W of average output power at 780 nm, with pulse durations down to 100 fs. It comes in an extremely compact design, requiring just a fraction of space occupied by other lasers with comparable performance. Fully-integrated fast amplitude modulation and dispersion pre-compensation make it a perfect fit for multi-photon applications in microscopy or 3D nanoprinting.

TERA SMART

TeraSmart is a compact, turnkey, and integratable terahertz spectrometer designed for continuous 24/7 operationThe high levels of achievable THz power expand the potential applications of THz spectroscopy and imaging, making previously unexplored and challenging applications (e.g., analysis of highly absorbing, thick, and biological samples with high water content) in the terahertz region more accessible than ever before.

FC1500 Quantum

The FC1500-Quantum provides exquisite low noise comb and CW light over a wide frequency range in a fully rack-mounted system. It is the all-in-one ultra-stable frequency comb-based solution for your Quantum 2.0 applications. Whether you are building an ion/neutral atom-based quantum computer, a quantum optical clock, or an atom interferometry
experiment, Menlo tailors your system to your application.

Stabilized in the infrared

Researchers at the Laboratoire de Physique de l’École Normale Supérieure in Paris have optimized a quantum cascade laser with the help of a frequency comb from Menlo Systems. The work is an important building block for the future use of quantum cascade lasers as frequency combs in the mid-infrared.

Clock pairs for higher stability

Researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and University of California Berkeley, USA, have realized a new kind of multiplexed optical atomic clock for high-precision frequency measurements in a portable format. They used Menlo Systems’ ORS Ultrastable Laser System for the clock read-out.
