Technical Abstract (Limit 2000 characters, approximately 200 words)

This Phase I SBIR will establish the feasibility of fabricating low loss, broadband, waveguide based phase modulators at 369nm for use in Yb trapped ion systems. Yb trapped ion systems are a leading and rapidly expanding quantum computing technology; however, they require complex laser sources that are bulky, fragile, and prone to reliability issues due to misalignment. The proposed work will simplify and increase the robustness of these laser systems by developing components that will eliminate the need for multiple free space optics.
