Description

We present two complementary developments at the NQCC aimed at improving the accessibility, reproducibility, and efficiency of AMO experiments. The first, IonVision, is an open-source framework for generating energy-level and pulse-sequence diagrams from concise, configurable JSON specifications. By providing a structured and scriptable alternative to general-purpose drawing software, IonVision enables reproducible workflows for producing clear, publication-ready visualisations of experimental diagrams. The second is a modular laser system designed to provide a flexible and scalable laser platform for AMO experiments. The system adopts a modular architecture that facilitates the integration, configuration, and reuse of laser components across different experimental requirements, reducing duplicated development effort and supporting the rapid deployment of new capabilities. Together, these developments address complementary aspects of experimental research, providing reusable tools and infrastructure that support efficient development, clear communication, and greater reproducibility across the AMO community.
