NKT Super K FIANIUM Compact Tunable Laser

The NKT Super K service contains software for controlling both the NKT SuperK FIANIUM Supercontinuum White Light Laser and the NKT SuperK VARIA Variable Bandpass Filter. This is done because a single open port to the device is needed that cannot be shared between multiple services.

Associated drivers for both the FIANIUM and VARIA also need to be installed.

Note

There is a separate service for the NKT SuperK EVO.

Datastreams

emission: Output emission of the FIANIUM (int) - 0 is OFF, 3 is ON.

power_setpoint: Output emission power level of the FIANIUM (in percent).

pulse_picker_ratio: Pulse picker ratio for the FIANIUM.

monitor_input: Monitors the input to the VARIA from the FIANIUM.

nd_setpoint: Set point for the VARIA ND filter.
