Complex optical experiments often require extensive equipment and time-consuming procedures – with Moku, you can simplify even the most complicated optical setups.
Easily lock lasers to a cavity using the Pound-Drever-Hall method or build custom optical phase-locked loops with the same hardware. Integrated PID controllers maintain your experimental settings without the need for manual tuning. Moku devices simplify applications such as gravitational wave detection, Mach-Zehnder interferometry, and laser frequency stabilization.
“We needed a solution pretty quickly. Moku:Pro was inserted, and from the time it was brought into the cleanroom to the time the loop was operational, it was a couple of hours.”

Moku devices use a unique blended ADC method to ensure low-noise performance over a wide frequency range. For sensitive optical signals like modulated photodiode outputs, the Lock-in Amplifier and Oscilloscope instruments provide high dynamic range and noise performance that rival traditional benchtop setups. Moku also features a variety of filtering options to adapt to real-world signal environments.
Yes. Moku is designed with a similar interface across all instruments, so whether you’re using the Lock-in Amplifier, Oscilloscope, or Waveform Generator, the control layout remains consistent. Multi-user labs benefit from Moku’s flexibility, as Multi-Instrument Mode lets you run and monitor several tools in parallel without disruption. Moku can also save and recall entire setups, minimizing configuration errors when switching users.
Moku offers a high degree of flexibility for photonics setups, with configurable analog inputs and outputs, external triggering, and support for closed-loop feedback. Whether you’re monitoring optical power via a PID loop or locking to a frequency comb, you can easily build real-time control systems using Moku instruments, or design your own FPGA logic with Moku Cloud Compile. The intuitive UI and Python API make it easy to integrate with both commercial and home-built setups.
