Equipment for Quantum eraser experiment

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on finding specifications and purchasing options for pump argon lasers used in quantum eraser experiments. Participants suggest looking at resources related to Bell test components for similar equipment. Additionally, they recommend a specific Scientific American article titled "A Do-It-Yourself Quantum Eraser" for further guidance. There is a focus on sourcing lenses, crystals, and other necessary materials for conducting the experiment. Overall, the thread emphasizes the importance of reliable resources for acquiring quantum eraser experiment equipment.

Does anyone know the full specs for those pump argon lasers used in the quantum eraser experiments? We're can I buy a used one?

Also, is there a good place to buy the other equipment (lenses, crystals, etc) needed to perform the experiment?

thanks!

Welcome to PhysicsForums, luxor99!

Not sure if this will help, but it might help to look at the parts used for a Bell test (since a lot of the components will be the same):

See Appendix C.

Look up the SciAm article "A Do-It-Yourself Quantum Eraser".
 
DrChinese, thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for !
 
We often see discussions about what QM and QFT mean, but hardly anything on just how fundamental they are to much of physics. To rectify that, see the following; https://www.cambridge.org/engage/api-gateway/coe/assets/orp/resource/item/66a6a6005101a2ffa86cdd48/original/a-derivation-of-maxwell-s-equations-from-first-principles.pdf 'Somewhat magically, if one then applies local gauge invariance to the Dirac Lagrangian, a field appears, and from this field it is possible to derive Maxwell’s...
I read Hanbury Brown and Twiss's experiment is using one beam but split into two to test their correlation. It said the traditional correlation test were using two beams........ This confused me, sorry. All the correlation tests I learnt such as Stern-Gerlash are using one beam? (Sorry if I am wrong) I was also told traditional interferometers are concerning about amplitude but Hanbury Brown and Twiss were concerning about intensity? Isn't the square of amplitude is the intensity? Please...
First, I need to check that I have the 3 notations correct for an inner product in finite vector spaces over a complex field; v* means: given the isomorphism V to V* then: (a) physicists and others: (u,v)=v*u ; linear in the second argument (b) some mathematicians: (u,v)=u*v; linear in the first argument. (c) bra-ket: <v|u>= (u,v) from (a), so v*u . <v|u> is linear in the second argument. If these are correct, then it would seem that <v|u> being linear in the second...
