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)

Installation

Using pip (stable release):

pip install pychilaslasers

From source (editable):

git clone https://github.com/ChilasLasers/PyChilasLasers
cd PyChilasLasers
pip install -e .

Quick Example

Basic connection & wavelength set (see full script in examples/basic_usage.py):

#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)
