I pulled out the RF amplifier box from the IOO rack again and added the new RF amplifiers for FOL.
I replaced one of the decoupling capacitors of the ALS beat note RF amplifier ; the poloproylene capacitor with a ceramic capacitor (0.1uF) .
After putting back the box, I confirmed that we had a beat note. I did not get a chance to measure the ALS noise after putting back the box because the IFO was already occupied.
I will post a detailed elog of the components in the RF amplifier box once I am done with it (hopefully tomorrow)! |
