Laser Locking Scheme

10-15-25

For high precision optics having a frequently locked laser is very important. Right now, I am finishing up an updated method to stabilize lasers used to cool the Yb ions in an optical clock experiments. The system uses a Red Pitaya micro controller and a python script to read the lasers wavelengths and continuously provide a correction voltage. This experience has given me a good understanding of how to develop a project all the way from initial ideas to troubleshooting and implementation.
