Abstract

We present a user-friendly and versatile tool for laser frequency stabilization. Its main focus is spectroscopy locking, but the software is suitable for lock-in techniques in general as well as bare proportional-integral-derivative (PID) operation. Besides allowing for sinusoidal modulation (up to 50MHz), triangular ramp scanning, in-phase and quadrature demodulation (1-5 f), infinite impulse response, and PID filtering, Linien features two different algorithms for automatic lock point selection; one of them performs time-critical tasks completely on field-programmable gate arrays. Linien is capable of autonomously optimizing spectroscopy parameters by means of machine learning and can measure the error signal's power spectral density. The software is built in a modular way, providing both a graphical user interface as well as a Python scripting interface. It is based on the RedPitaya STEMLab platform but may be ported to different systems.
