Unlock the Potential of Quantum Computing with Customized Optical Filters

IDEX Health & Science: Your Optical Filter Partner for Quantum Computing

Quantum computing based on trapped ion qubits uses lasers for ionization, cooling, positioning, entanglement, and state readout.

At IDEX Health & Science, our Semrock^® optical filters play pivotal roles in quantum computing by enabling the use of precision lasers. As several laser lines may be needed to manipulate ion qubits, with wavelengths and specifications related to excited ions (e.g., 363/367/369/556 nm), the need for customized optical filters can be critical.

Semrock Optical Filters for Quantum Applications

We have been at the forefront of optical filter customization and optimization since 2000, pioneering cutting-edge filter design technologies to meet the demands of advanced applications. Our catalog and custom filters guarantee high transmission over the UV, visible, and infrared, including wavelengths used for atomic cooling and ion trapping applications.

Key Features and Recent Innovations

• Short production lead times of 4 weeks including customized design
• High transmission of up to 95% at specific laser wavelengths
• Wavelength precision: Advanced thin film coating process control ensures Precise Edge Placement, industry-leading spectral edge position repeatability as good as ±0.1% (e.g., ±0.5 nm at 500 nm) within and between production coating batches.
• High Edge Steepness: Narrow transitions between high transmission and deep blocking to separate laser lines as close together as 2 nm. An example measured spectral edge is shown in the graph.
• Multiple laser passbands on a filter
• Angle ranges of up to ±7° with minimal spectral shift
• Industry-leading precise metrology through our KolaDeep^™ Spectral Measurement System
• Edge Steepness resolution: ~0.1% relative to the edge wavelength from T = 90% to OD 3
• Deep blocking measurements: Up to OD 8-9 across UV, visible, and NIR ranges, with spectral features to OD 11




• Durability and reliability: All filters withstand extremes of temperature and humidity and come with a 10-year performance guarantee.
• Hard-coated thin-film filters with high Laser Damage Threshold (LDT)
