attoDRY800xs

compact optical cryostat

most compact standalone optical cryostat

fits in every laboratory

cold plate integrated into optical breadboard

obstruction-free work space & optical access

fully customizable vacuum shrouds

can be customized to almost every need

With the attoDRY800xs optical cryostat, attocube has taken the revolutionary concept of the attoDRY800 to the next level: many researchers want to set up quantum optics experiments at cryogenic temperatures, but don‘t have room for a(nother) conventional optical table, or big cryostats which occupy several m3 of precious lab space. 

The attoDRY800xs overcomes this limitation, being the most compact platform ever for quantum optics experiments: a customizable cryogenic shroud, equipped with the optical setup that you desire, integrated into an optical breadboard. The result is the first standalone optical cryostat ever, where the cold sample space is perfectly embedded into an obstruction-free workspace.
 

All this in less than 17‘‘ x 28‘‘, while preserving all key advantages of the original attoDRY800, such as a similar low vibration performance, versatility through customizable vacuum shrouds adopted to the needs of your experiment, and automated temperature control, gas handling and remote control. 

Therefore, the attoDRY800xs can enable to set up a self-contained experiment directly on its optical breadboard, or it can be placed adjacent to existing larger optical tables with fiber coupling between the optical elements.

Vacuum Shrouds

Anticipating typical configurations, we have designed several standard vacuum shrouds and cold shields for the attoDRY800/800xs optical cryostat, that are intended for certain types of positioners, sample holders, working distances and objectives. These options constitute an economic pre-configured set of components that give the user a head start for his research with optics at low and variable temperatures.

The vacuum shroud can have an almost arbitrary shape depending on the experimental needs of each user. We distinguish between standard configurations, which cover the most typical applications, and fully customized configurations.
