Laser source, available form keopsys Keopsys laser module 0W CYFL-GIGA series 1083nm, the laser can overlap 3He transitions C3 to C9 and fm/f4m lines. Majority of groups are using this one but it is very EXPENSIVE We studied 9 other possible source of lasers One categories that are ready to use benchtop module like figure (b) are either very low power and very narrowband or do not have enough stability/resolution One categories are just bare bone diode laser that they need to make a very precise temperature and current controller. 17
