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

3D design of optomechanical and electronic systems

With Google SketchUp it is easy to make 3D models and even quite complicated 3D scenes. Libraries of optomechanical components can speed up the process of an optomechanical setup documentation, presentation or prototyping. Newport offers 170 product models via Google’s
