Discovery | Qbox
Das openUC2 QBox ist ein modulares, reproduzierbares und digital steuerbares Experimentierkit aus der DISCOVERY Line, entwickelt, um Quantenoptik begreifbar zu machen, Es ist ideal für Hochschulen, Fortgeschrittenen‑Praktika und Forschungsgruppen, die Quantenoptikt lehren und erforschen wollen.
Basierend auf dem bewährten UC2-Cube-Ssystem kombiniert es optische Präzision, modulare Mechanik und digitale Steuerung über ein vorinstalliertes ESP32‑SC‑Modul (Wi‑Fi, digitale Ansteuerung der Photodiode).
Es erlaubt die Umsetzung von:
• Klassischer Interferometrie: Michelson, Mach–Zehnder und Sagnac-Interferometer
• Quantenoptik: Quantum Eraser, Einzel- und Doppelspalt, Polarisation
• Anwendungen: ODMR (optisch detektierte magnetische Resonanz)
Der Lieferumfang beinhaltet:
• Cube mit Spiegel (45°/90°), kinematische Spiegelhalterungen
• Lasermodul (520 nm), Dichroit und Emissionsfilter, Strahlteiler
• Linsenmodul (f = 44,5 mm), Universal‑Puzzleteile für Spalte/Gitter
• XYZ‑Stage für Diamant‑Justage, Grundplatte,
• 5× rotierende Polarisationsfilter
Technische Highlights sind:
• Steuerboard mit ESP32‑C3 + UC2‑Firmware für Mikrowellenerzeugung und optische Detektion
• Board mit 3 Mikro‑Diamanten und SMA‑Anschluss für Funkwellen
• Erweiterbar mit weiteren UC2‑Modulen (motorisierte Linearachsen, LED‑Matrizen, Kamera‑Mounts)
openUC2 QBox - Quantum & Interference
Discover Quantum Optics Hands-On
The QBox is an expandable experimental kit from openUC2's DISCOVERY Line, specially designed for teaching quantum optics concepts. Based on the proven UC2 modular system, it combines optical precision, modular mechanics and digital control via a pre-installed ESP32S3 module. The QBox enables students and researchers to independently carry out challenging experiments ranging from classical interferometry to quantum technology such as the ODMR experiment.
