Ionizer

Summary:

Control-software for atomic physics experiments in ion traps.

LaserBrothers software automatically re-locks lasers to reference cavities, and doubling-cavities to lasers.

Aluminizer software controls the NIST aluminum ion clock. This is an application with a graphical front-end (client) to an FPGA-based pulse-sequencer (server). Pulse-sequences are written as object-oriented C++ programs with timing resolution of 10 ns and jitter of about 1 ns. Many calibrations are performed automatically. This program is written specifically to control the NIST Al+/Mg+ clock, but effort was made to keep the code general enough to adapt to other tasks.

LabAC software controls a laboratory air-conditioning system. THIS CODE HAS NOT YET BEEN UPLOADED.

BullsIon software shows the coordinates of a laser-beam that's on a webcam. THIS CODE HAS NOT YET BEEN UPLOADED.
