Our work on the arbitrary digital pulse sequence generator using delay-loop timing of a microcontroller was published in Rev. Sci. Inst. 89, 045103 (2018), https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5019685, arXiv. Any uC can be used to get timing accuracy at the level of two or
30 ms optical shutter using RC servo
In QOLO we use shutters mainly for switching between different input signals, such as probe laser and single photons, and for closing individual paths of complex interferometric setups. Typically, there are two methods how to achieve this goal based on
