    Brief

    This procurement seeks two integrated laser controllers capable of simultaneously managing current, piezo, and temperature parameters for dual laser systems. The controllers must feature an LCD display interface and ethernet connectivity for network integration. Key functional requirements include: generation of error signals for laser stabilization through PDH (Pound-Drever-Hall) locking to optical cavities, real-time feedback mechanisms, and compatibility with existing DL pro/HP laser models currently installed in the NQCC Ion Trap Lab. The dual-laser capability reduces physical footprint and operational costs compared to single-laser solutions. Suppliers should demonstrate experience with precision laser control systems, optical cavity locking techniques, and networked laboratory instrumentation compatible with the specified laser platforms.
