ORCA-Quest case studies

 

Featured products:

ORCA Quest 2

The ORCA-Quest 2, the latest evolution in our qCMOS camera line, builds upon the excellence of its predecessor with enhanced performance. It features faster readout speeds in ultra-low-noise scan mode and increased sensitivity in the ultraviolet spectrum—ideal for detecting UV fluorescence from trapped ions. These advancements make the ORCA-Quest 2 a premier imaging solution for high-energy physics, astronomy, and quantum computing, capturing the faintest details with unmatched precision.

The fiber coupled SPAD module C16534-050GD is compact and suitable for integration in quantum devices and systems. Customizations include but not limited to gain adjustments and higher overvoltage which results in higher PDE and higher dark count rate (DCR) as a tradeoff. 

ORCA-Fire scientific camera

Since the early development of trapped-ion quantum computers in the 1990s, our photomultiplier tubes (PMTs) have been a trusted solution for detecting faint ion fluorescence. The H10682 photon counting head is the gold standard for high-sensitivity, low-noise photon counting of Yb trapped ion fluorescence, offering both fiber-coupled and free-space options for seamless integration into quantum applications.

The 64-channel multianode PMT assembly H7546B series is an assembly that can detect fluorescence of multiple ions in a 64-channel matrix.

LCOS-SLM (optical phase modulator)

The LCOS-SLM is a reflective spatial light modulator that freely controls the phase of light with a liquid crystal. Controlling the phase (wavefront) with LCOS-SLM enables researchers to generate a highly efficient optical microtrap array to confine neutral atoms. 

Our MPPC modules offer high gain (~10⁶), efficient 650nm photon detection for NV fluorescence, a wide dynamic range, and a superior signal-to-noise ratio for weak, high-speed signals. With an integrated amplifier and power supply, they provide a seamless plug-and-play solution.

Our SPAD modules offer high photon detection efficiency at 493nm for barium ion fluorescence, low dark count rates, and flexible free-space or fiber-coupled options—ideal for VIS trapped ion qubit detection and quantum networking. Customization is available to meet project needs.

 

MEMs mirror

Our unique micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS) technology enables electromagnetically driven mirrors with a wide optical deflection angle, high mirror reflectivity, and low power consumption. These advantages make MEMS mirrors a compelling solution for optical beam steering and quantum interconnect hardware in quantum computing applications.
