| ELVA-1 71-76 GHz Frequency Synthesizer is intended for studying the phenomenon of optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR), scientists study the behavior of magnetic nanostructures, such as quantum dots and quantum wells.
While irradiating nanostructure samples using microwave signal from the 71-76 GHz Frequency Synthesizer the researchers activate spin phenomena in semiconductors including diluted magnetic semiconductors and semiconductor nanostructures, thereby speeding up experiments. The nanostructure sample is placed into a helium cryostat at temperatures close to absolute zero. See block diagram of research bed for understanding of 71-76 GHz Frequency Synthesizer role (marked as MWG). |

The study is being conducted in order to create memory elements for quantum computers. The development of quantum (optical) computer is a mega-project, which a lot of laboratories around the world work on. The goal is to develop a supercomputer of the future with enormous speed at a micro size. 71-76 GHz Frequency Synthesizer is intended for the continuous generation of the harmonic signals in the range 71-76 GHz and can operate in the following modes:• «CONTINUOUS WAVE» (CW) – continuous generation mode of reference frequency signal; • «CONTINUOUS WAVE» (CW) – continuous generation mode of reference frequency signal with amplitude modulation; • «FREQUENCY SWEEP» (FS) – sweep mode generator (sweeper). |
| The synthesizer has a built-in keyboard for direct input of the output frequency settings on the front panel. It is also equipped with a 2-line LCD display, which displays information about the frequency and other signal parameters. Built-in USB-HID interface allows remote computer-aided device control. «71-76 GHz Synthesizer remote control» software is included in the shipment for this purpose. |  |
