A test platform that adapts to your needs.

 

FPGA-based Moku devices integrate a full suite of 14 software-defined instruments, giving you a tool for every situation. Alongside tools crucial for optics and photonics, like the Laser Lock Box, Phasemeter, and Lock-in Amplifier, and Time & Frequency Analyzer are  common test essentials such as an Oscilloscope, Spectrum Analyzer, and Waveform Generator. Run multiple instruments side-by-side in Multi-instrument Mode, or deploy your own custom algorithms with Moku Cloud Compile.  

Seamless lock-in detection

Utilize the 4-channel, 600 MHz Lock-in Amplifier for multiple frequencies or harmonics, and output the demodulated signal to use in a feedback loop or PLL. Achieve ultra-low noise performance with 10-bit and 18-bit blended ADCs.


Painless laser locking

Easily lock lasers to a cavity using the PDH method with the Laser Lock Box, which combines the functionality of a Lock-in Amplifier and PID controller. With Lock Assist, you can instantly lock to any zero-crossing on the demodulated error signal with a single click.


Lossless event counting

Whether you're performing photon counting or free-space optical communications, utilize the 4-channel Time & Frequency Analyzer to detect photon events, generate time interval statistics, and output histogram data - all with zero dead time.

Faster optical PLLs

The Moku Phasemeter enables you to auto-lock onto an input frequency and visualize phase, frequency, and amplitude over multiple channels, all while recording with an embedded data logger. With the ability to output phase-locked signals, your optical PLLs just got a lot easier to implement. Watch the video to learn more.

Engineered for demanding photonics applications

With Moku:Pro, you have access to multiple pieces of necessary optics instrumentation in one device. Deployed standalone or in Multi-instrument Mode, the Lock-in Amplifier, Laser Lock Box, Phasemeter, and Time & Frequency Analyzer cover applications such as:

  • Laser frequency stabilization with PDH locking
  • Mach-Zehnder interferometry
  • Gravitational wave detection
  • Hanbury, Brown and Twiss interferometry
