In this project, we are developing quantum logic spectroscopy techniques for single (anti-)protons with the ultimate goal of supporting a g-factor based test of CPT invariance [1]. We discuss laser systems for cooling, repumping and controlling of 9Be+ hyperfine qubit ions at a high magnetic field of 5 T. The light for Doppler cooling, repumping and Raman sideband transitions will be provided by three tunable infrared fiber-lasers generating two beams via sum-frequency generation (SFG) and subsequent second harmonic generation, similar to [2]. We build a compact system split into three single, stackable breadboards (600 mm × 600 mm), connected via fibers. One breadbord is used for two independent SFG stages. The SFG wavelength is stabilized to an iodine vapor cell. The light is then frequency-doubled on the other breadboards to generate the required wavelenght of about 313 nm for ion and qubit manipulation.
