| contents | Robust laser delivery and stabilization are key components in atom-based quantum technologies, such as quantum computing. Moving these technologies towards product-like deployment requires scalable, compact, cost-effective, and upgradable modules. Here we describe laser systems consisting of application-flexible modules and demonstrate their performance by characterizing key metrics and by integration with ion trap systems. The laser system is confined to a single server rack and a compact locking station. Both are Class 1 laser products with fiber in-out and electronic control of the laser light. This is achieved through precision manufacture of optical boards that are designed to reduce the degrees of freedom, ease alignment, and increase the robustness to environmental factors. We present a range of 13 wavelengths from 375 nm to 1092 nm: efficiencies from laser source to ion trap range from 21 - 28%, with laser stabilization line widths below 1 MHz. |
