We have developed a new technique to heat a temperature-controlled stage for SQUID measurements without coupling excess noise to the SQUID. We send infrared laser light from a diode laser into a cryostat through an optical fiber, whose cleaved end is held close to a blackened spot on the stage. The laser current is controlled by a commercial PID temperature controller, which monitors the stage temperature...
