MEMS-based optical beam steering system for quantum information processing in two-dimensional atomic systems

Abstract: In order to provide scalability to quantum information processors utilizing trapped atoms or ions as quantum bits (qubits), the capability to address multiple individual qubits in a largeSome of the most promising physical implementations of quantum information processors (QIPs) utilize internal states of ions coupled via Coulomb interactions [1][2][3][4] or neutral atoms coupled through dipole-dipole interactions [5,6] to represent quantum bits (qubits). Manipulation of qubit states in these QIP implementatio… Show more

“…We previously reported our implementation of a MEMS based 2 dimensional (2D) single beam steering system [13]. In this paper, we demonstrate the scalability of the system by incorporating two beam paths at different wavelengths (780 nm and 635 nm) with substantial improvements in steering speed and optical throughput compared to our previous results.…”

“…While a single MEMS mirror that provides 2D beam steering has been demonstrated [15], it is difficult to reach the target speeds with such mirrors. Using a pair of small one dimensional (1D) tilting MEMS mirrors with limited angular range [13] we can achieve significantly faster beam steering performance than the 2D mirrors. In order to accommodate two axis motion for a single beam path, two 1D mirrors are oriented with orthogonal rotational axes horizontally separated by 2h on the same substrate.…”

“…Currently, laser addressing is achieved by changing the deflection angle of an acousto-optic modulator [39]. In recent work, a micromirror array fabricated by a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) process was used to steer a near-infrared laser beam, allowing laser addressing on a 5 × 5 grid of spacing 8 µm with a switching time of ∼ 10 µs [113]. Similar MEMS micromirrors have been fabricated with high reflectivity at the UV wavelengths relevant to ion QIP [114].…”

“…The mirrors are fabricated on a single substrate (Figure 1(c)) using Sandia's SUMMiT V process 18 allowing for a single system to be scaled to multiple beams across a variety of wavelengths. 19 wavelength while minimizing the stress that induces curvature on the plate. The beam waist of the incoming Raman beam is focused onto the first of the MEMS mirrors, and a folded 2f-2f imaging system projects the beam waist onto the second MEMS mirror.…”
