Class Description

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)
