Python library for controlling Chilas lasers

PyChilasLasers

Python library for controlling Chilas Atlas and Comet tunable lasers.

---

Overview

PyChilasLasers is a Python interface for control of Chilas Atlas and Comet tunable laser. It provides:

• Device communication
• Three operating modes (Manual / Tune / Sweep*)
  • Manual: Control of all internal laser parameters
  • Tune: Wavelength tuning based on a calibration look-up table
  • Sweep: Continuous wavelength sweeping (*Comet only)

#Minimal conceptual snippet: see examples for real usage
from pychilaslasers import Laser
laser = Laser("COM_PORT","path/to/calibration/file")
laser.mode = LaserModes.TUNE
laser.tune.wavelength = 1550.0
print(laser.wavelength)
