Aom

class Aom(omegaRf)

Bases: handle

Aom models an acousto-optic modulator RF shift.

Provides frequency shifts for single-pass (SP) and double-pass (DP) setups. The RF frequency is specified in MHz (linear frequency).

Example:

a = Aom(80);   % 80 MHz
df = a.shiftSP(1);   % +80 MHz
df2 = a.shiftDP(-1); % -160 MHz
