Features of Our BEC-MOT Cells

  • Customizable design: Precision Glassblowing produces BEC-MOT cells in a variety of shapes, styles, configurations, and sizes. In addition, we manufacture each cell to the customer’s specifications and needs.
  • AR coating: When possible, we offer an AR coating option for our cells to reduce light scattering. The reason this is important is because this is for applications that require high-resolution imaging of trapped atoms.
  • Helium leak checking: In addition, we leak-check all BEC-MOT cells with Helium prior to shipment.  As a result of this process, we can ensure each cell is UHV compatible. This is important for applications that require a high-vacuum environment.
  • Materials: Our BEC-MOT cells are available in a variety of materials, including borosilicate, fused silica, and quartz. Of course, the choice of material depends on the specific application.

Why Research Labs Choose Our Custom BEC-MOT Cells

As an experienced custom BECMOT cell manufacturer, Precision Glassblowing combines decades of scientific glassblowing expertise with rigorous quality standards. Every BECMOT cell we produce is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern quantum research.

Fully Customizable Design

We fabricate BEC-MOT cells in a wide range of shapes, sizes, and configurations. This includes box cells, six-way cross cells, octagonal cells, and dodecagonal cells. Each magneto optical trap cell is built to your exact specifications.

AR Coating Available

We offer anti-reflection (AR) coating options to reduce light scattering, improving imaging resolution when observing trapped atoms.

Helium Leak-Checked for UHV Compatibility

Every BECMOT cell is helium leak-checked prior to shipment, ensuring full ultra-high vacuum (UHV) compatibility — a non-negotiable requirement for magneto-optical trap experiments.

Multiple Material Options

Choose from borosilicate, fused silica, or quartz depending on your wavelength requirements and experimental conditions.
