Optical Lens Assemblies for Quantum HardwareHigh NA Objectives for Trapped-Ion & Neutral Atom Systems

High-NA objectives are mission-critical for:

• Single-ion / single-atom addressing
• High-resolution fluorescence imaging
• Efficient photon collection
• Accurate Raman and cooling beam shaping
• Advanced optical lattice interrogation

Capabilities:

• High Numerical Aperture: 0.5 – 0.95+
• Aberration Corrected for wavelengths: UV, visible, NIR (350–1100 nm)
• Diffraction-limited performance
• Custom long working distances
• Compatible with thick vacuum windows
• Low-fluorescence optical materials to minimize background signal
• High laser damage threshold coatings

Engineering benefits:

• Improved readout fidelity
• Higher qubit loading efficiency
• Reduced optical aberrations through precision custom design
• Vacuum-window-corrected design tailored for high-performance ion-trap and quantum computing setups

High-Precision Lens Assemblies for Quantum System Integration

Fully integrated optical assemblies engineered to enhance alignment flexibility, stabilize optical paths, and ensure long-term performance.

Typical assemblies include:

• Tube lenses for forming the final image
• Beam shaping lenses for delivering a uniform intensity profile
• Achromatic lens to maintain focus across multiple wavelengths
• Relay lenses for transferring an optical image from one plane to another while preserving spatial structure
• Beam expander to adjust the beam diameter or divergence

Manufacturing advantages:

• Sub-micron centration tolerances
• Monolithic or bonded housings
• Cleanroom and vacuum-rated assembly
• Interferometric verification
• Excellent thermal stability

These assemblies reduce engineering overhead by arriving ready to install and alignment-stable.
