Near-Quantum-Limited Noise Over a 4 GHz Band
Our patented dispersion engineering and three-wave mixing enable 4 GHz of uninterrupted gain with added noise below 1 photon—approaching the theoretical quantum limit.
Two Models for Flexible Deployment
Pump Frequency Outside the Gain Band
By placing the pump frequency (around 12 GHz) well outside the gain band, we minimize interference with measured signals, ensuring cleaner data and simpler filtering.
Simple Flux Bias
Provides both flux biasing via the internal coil, and protection from external flux.
Built-in Protection
The solution has inbuilt flux protection and ESD protection, ensuring an easy-to-use solution
