- class atomiq.components.lock.Lock(reference_frequency, lock_offset=0, harmonic=1, *args, **kwargs)#
Bases:
Component
This is a very generic class to describe a laser lock. It is characterized by some means of a reference frequency and an offset to that frequency at which the lock tries to stabilize.
Most likely you want to use a more specific class inherited from this one.
- Parameters:
reference_frequency (TFloat) -- The frequency in Hz that the lock references to
lock_offset (TFloat) -- The frequency offset in Hz at which the lock stabilizes
harmonic (TInt32) -- Use this option if the laser is frequency converted but locked to the fundamental. Use 1 for no conversion, 2 for SHG, 4 for FHG ,... (default 1)

,Parametrizable
This is a very generic class to describe a laser lock where the lock offset can be changed. It is characterized by some means of a reference frequency and a detunable offset to that frequency at which the lock tries to stabilize.
Most likely you want to use a more specific class inherited from this one.
- Parameters:
settle_time (TFloat) -- Time in s the lock needs to settle after a detuning of the lock point
blind (TBool) --
A Parametrizable is an entity that can be controlled by one or more continuous parameter(s)
- kernel_invariants = {'settle_time'}#
- set_frequency(frequency)#

- Parameters:

DetunableLock
Lock on a sideband modulated onto the laser
This kind of lock is frequently used when locking on tunable sideband to the transmission signal of a stable cavity. The offset frequency for the sideband is generated by an RF source and can be changed at runtime. Thus the lock point can be detuned.
- Parameters:
rf_source (RFSource) -- RF source that determines the sideband frequency.
sideband_order (TInt32) -- Order of the sideband the laser is locked to [.., -2, -1, 1, 2, ...] (default 1)

- Return type:
TFloat
- set_detuning(offset_frequency)#
Set the frequency relative to the reference frequency, i.e. set the lock offset.
- Parameters:
offset_frequency (TFloat) -- new lock offset in Hz
- set_frequency(frequency)#
Set the absolute frequency of the locked line
- Parameters:
frequency (TFloat) -- The absoulte frequency at which the system should lock

Bases:
DetunableLock
Lock on an optical frequency comb
This is used to lock the laser on a beat note with an optical frequency comb. It is characterized by the frequency of the closest comb tooth and the offset frequency. The offset frequency is generated by an RF source and can be changed at runtime. Thus the lock point can be detuned.
- Parameters:
rfsource -- RF source that generates the reference beat frequency (i.e. the offset frequency) to which the laser beat note is stabilzed.
reference_frequency -- The frequency in Hz of the comb tooth. Instead (tooth_number, rep_rate, ceo) can be given to automatically calculate the reference frequency
lock_offset -- The default frequency offset to the comb tooth in Hz at which the lock stabilizes
settle_time -- Time in s the lock needs to settle after a detuning of the lock point
lock_direction (TInt32) -- Whether the laser is to the positive (+1) or negative (-1) beat note (default 1)
tooth_number (TInt32) -- Number of the comb tooth, the laser is beaten with (default -1)
rep_rate (TFloat) -- Repetition frequency of the comb in Hz (default -1)
ceo (TFloat) -- Ceo frequency of the comb in Hz (default -1)
rf_source (RFSource) --
