Description
How laser systems are controlled and integrated, and where we can benefit from existing developments
The Penning Trap community pooled their resources together and created a Trap CS with frequent updates and full support in Europe and North America.
Its concept and current status will be introduced as an example of what a laser control system could, as well as how it was attempted to apply this CS to some laser spectroscopy experiment (TRIGA).
At the accelerator laboratory in Jyväskylä, both the Penning Trap and Collinear Laser Spectroscopy systems are globally integrated into the facility's control system, EPICS. It will be briefly presented.
At the CRIS experiment at ISOLDE, a Python-based distributed control and acquisition system has been developed that allows for fast expansion of any new device and feature. It will be briefly presented.
