Precision in Photonics. Together we shape a sustainable future. Menlo Systems, a leading developer and global supplier of instrumentation for high-precision metrology, was founded in 2001 as a spin-off of the Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics, with the foremost aim to commercialize optical measurement technologies and make them available to newly emerging application fields. Menlo Systems maintains a strong bond to co-founder Theodor W. Hänsch, who pioneered precision laser techniques. Known for the Nobel Prize-winning optical frequency comb technology, the Munich-based company offers complete solutions based on ultrafast lasers, synchronization electronics, and THz systems for applications in industry and research.

2024 Optica Quantum Industry Summit - 19th - 20th November. In three weeks, we will be attending the third edition of the Optica Quantum Industry Summit. The Summit brings together companies working across the board in the quantum arena to foster collaboration and innovation. Menlo Systems’ Managing Director Michael Mei will be giving a talk, with Wim Geberbauer also in attendance. We look forward to joining the other participants at the heart of quantum innovation in Bristol, UK! https://lnkd.in/eYqtuir8 #QuantumIndustrySummit #QuantumTechnology #Photonics
Celebrating Day of Photonics. Happy DAY OF PHOTONICS 2024! To celebrate, check out our video where work-experience intern, Ieuan, asked ChatGPT for some of the best (worst?) photonics jokes on the internet. In case the jokes aren’t clear, Ieuan explains the meaning behind them. What are your favorite photonics jokes? Tell us in the comments. #DayOfPhotonics #PhotonicsJokes #Photonics #STEMEducation #InspiringStudents
Determining isotope shifts in neutral calcium. Researchers at The University of Bonn recently reported on their efforts to determine isotope shifts in the four most abundant isotopes of calcium, determining the shifts with a precision below 100 kHz by means of saturated absorption spectroscopy. The team used a Menlo Systems multi-wavelength-coated ORC-Cubic – an optical reference cavity based on ultra-low expansion (ULE) glass – to stabilize a tapered amplifier diode laser, the second harmonic of which was used for the spectroscopy measurements of the 423 nm transition of calcium. The results show a 3-fold improvement in determining calcium’s isotope shifts, and enhanced signal-to-noise ratios compared to unmodulated spectroscopy. #Spectroscopy #Photonics #UltrastableLasers https://lnkd.in/eaSFANG5 Figure (left) from https://lnkd.in/ePYxdyrC D.

We are absolutely delighted to be a part of the PhoQuant project, funded by the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung, and to have played a role in the development of Germany's first photonic quantum computer. Congratulations to all involved and we are excited to see the possible applications the Paderborn Quantum Sampler (PaQS) opens up!

🌐 Erster photonischer Quantencomputer in Deutschland rechnet in Paderborn 🤩 Wissenschaftler*innen der #UniPaderborn haben es in Zusammenarbeit mit den Partnern Menlo Systems, Fraunhofer IOF Jena und Swabian Instruments geschafft, den ersten photonischen #Quantencomputer Deutschlands zu entwickeln – den „PaQS“ („Paderborn Quantum Sampler“). Dieser Forschungserfolg öffnet Türen zu neuen Möglichkeiten im Bereich der Energiewende, Medikamentenforschung oder abhörsicheren Kommunikation. 👏🏼 💡 Mit PaQS wurde Europas größte „Gaußsche-Boson-Sampling-Maschine“ realisiert. Dabei wird – vereinfacht ausgedrückt – gemessen, aus welchen Ausgängen eines photonischen Netzwerkes die Photonen kommen. Im Gegensatz zu früheren Implementierungen haben die Paderborner Wissenschaftler*innen PaQS mit einem vorausschauenden Blick in Richtung Systemintegration und vollständiger Programmierbarkeit gebaut. Das bedeutet, dass selbst solche Anwendungen implementiert werden können, die sich aus zukünftigen Untersuchungen ergeben – womit eine nie dagewesene Flexibilität und ein hoher Grad an Anwendbarkeit einhergehen. 🤝🏼 Der Erfolg ist Teil der PhoQuant-Förderinitiative vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung, finanziert mit rund 50 Millionen Euro. 💶 Das Projekt wird vom deutschen Quantentechnologieunternehmen Q.ANT GmbH koordiniert und in Kürze einen zweiten Sampling-basierten Quantencomputer mit Cloud Access am Standort des IOF in Jena in Betrieb nehmen. ➡️ Erfahren Sie mehr über PaQS: go.upb.de/PaQS #Quantencomputing #PhotonischeTechnologien #Spitzenforschung #Forschungskooperation
Celebrating Excellence in Terahertz Research. After a successful IRMMW-THz conference, our colleague Prince Bawuah (PhD) had the pleasure of visiting Shaghik Atakaramians, Senior Lecturer and leader of the Terahertz Innovation Group at UNSW, Sydney. We were thrilled to see how our compact terahertz spectrometer, TeraSmart, has become a crucial part of her cutting-edge research in THz waveguides, metamaterials, and communications. Dr. Atakaramians was an early adopter of our TeraSmart system in Australia, and her work has inspired other researchers globally. We are thrilled to congratulate her on receiving the prestigious Zhenyi Wang Prize for Excellence at IRMMW-THz. This award honors outstanding female contributors in the field of Terahertz science. https://lnkd.in/ej4f7W5m We look forward to continuing our partnership with Dr. Atakaramians and supporting her in her groundbreaking work. https://lnkd.in/etQYFMU #Terahertz #Photonics #WomenInScience #ResearchInnovation #TeraSmart #ZhenyiWang #IRMMWTHz

Ultrafast pump-probe spectroscopy experiments for educational laboratories. A team from the Department of Physics at Harvard University recently reported on an ultrafast optical pump-probe spectroscopy experiment for undergraduate educational laboratories. The experiment aimed to introduce students to the important insights of ultrafast techniques for the physics of solids. The team used our ELMO HP – our compact, high-power femtosecond fiber laser – to build a table-top setup suitable to coherently excite (“pump”) phonons in crystals, and to measure (“probe”) transient reflectivity changes arising due to the pump. The results show that our ELMO platform is an ideal tool for educational laboratories! #Spectroscopy #PumpProbe #FiberLaser #Education https://lnkd.in/gjg2ZUzc [First image from paper: Nicholas J.
