Abstract: In this scientific paper, we investigate the use of micro-controllers for stabilization mechanisms in Quantum Optical experiments that rely on detector measurement feedbacks. Specifically, we examine the feasibility of two different micro-controller structures in converting nanosecond-width pulses into stable analog voltage outputs with less than 500 ns delay. To conduct this study, we utilized the LPC1114, a bare microprocessor with low-level abstraction, and an integrated STM32 board for data recording. Our results indicate that the newer STM32 board is better suited for this function, and we provide a detailed analysis of its functioning ranges. Overall, this research offers valuable insights into the use of micro-controllers for stabilizing quantum optical experiments, and highlights the potential benefits of utilizing advanced micro-controllers in this field.
