Driver for a dual-wavelength laser-lock channel of a Menlo Systems frequency comb.

Some CW channels (e.g. “CW 507 / 1014 / 1542”, “CW 578 / 1157 / 1542” in Menlo’s vendor software) lock two wavelengths through one shared dds/mainControls/frequencyControl/amp* node set, but have two separate frequencyDistribution<wavelength> blocks (one per wavelength) instead of a single plain frequencyDistribution, plus a single-wavelength thermo-electric-cooler node. Deploying plain LaserLock against one of these channels fails, since its frequencyDistribution.* properties hardcode a node name these channels don’t have - use DualLaserLock instead, which composes both wavelength-suffixed nodes plus the TEC node explicitly.

Parameters:
  • ofc – The OFC HERO this dual-wavelength channel belongs to.

  • funclayer_identifier – Identifier of the module’s functional-layer settings object, e.g. “cw507_1014” for the sub-tree at functionalLayer.cw507_1014Settings.

  • primary_frequency_distribution_node – Relative node name of the first wavelength’s frequency-distribution block (mapped to frequency_distribution, inherited from LaserLock), e.g. “frequencyDistribution507”.

  • secondary_frequency_distribution_node – Relative node name of the second wavelength’s frequency-distribution block (mapped to secondary_frequency_distribution), e.g. “frequencyDistribution1014”.

  • tec_node – Relative node name of the channel’s thermo-electric-cooler block, e.g. “spt1014Tec”.

  • amp_node – Relative node name of the channel’s shared laser-diode current-control block (amp*), see LaserLock.

  • observables – Additional observables to poll, merged on top of DEFAULT_OBSERVABLES, see FunctionalLayerModule.

property amplifier_enabled: bool

Whether the loop’s actuator amplifier (e.g. piezo/current driver) is enabled.

property slow_branch_setpoint: float

Setpoint of the loop’s slow feedback branch.

property slow_branch_locked: bool

Whether the loop’s slow feedback branch is currently locked. Read-only status.

property slow_branch_monitor: float

get(relative_path: str) Any

Read the current value of a node relative to this module’s settings object.

Use this for module properties not already exposed as a named attribute. See explore() to find the available relative paths, e.g. ofc.explore(module.base_path, depth=2).

Parameters:

relative_path – Dotted path relative to base_path.

Returns:

The current value of the node.

set(relative_path: str, value: Any) None

Set the value of a node relative to this module’s settings object.

Parameters:
  • relative_path – Dotted path relative to base_path, see get().

  • value – Value to set.
