    Area of Science:

    • Quantum physics
    • Optical engineering
    • Materials science

    Background:

    • Operating ultracold quantum gas experiments outside laboratory settings is challenging due to unstable optical systems.
    • Nonstandard materials like glass ceramics are needed to enhance thermal stability in free-space laser systems.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and investigate the thermal stability of Zerodur-based optical systems for portable quantum gas experiments.
    • To assess the suitability of these compact optical systems for demanding applications such as atom interferometry on sounding rockets.

    Main Methods:

    • Fabrication of single-mode fiber couplers using Zerodur and light-curing adhesives.
    • Thorough investigation of thermal stability across a temperature range (17°C to 36°C).
    • Performance evaluation through vibration tests.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved excellent fiber-coupling efficiencies between 0.85 and 0.92 within the tested temperature range.
    • Demonstrated high thermal stability of the Zerodur-based optical systems.
    • Successfully passed vibration tests, confirming system robustness.

    Conclusions:

    • Zerodur-based optical systems offer superior thermal stability for free-space laser applications.
    • These compact and robust systems are well-suited for atom interferometry on sounding rockets.
    • The developed optical systems have broad potential for quantum information and sensing applications outside traditional laboratory environments.
