More AM sweeps |
|
|
Attachment #1: Result of AM sweeps with EX laser crystal at nominal operating temperature ~ 31.75 C.
Attachment #2: Tarball of data for Attachment #1.
Attachment #3: Result of AM sweeps with EX laser crystal at higher operating temperature ~ 40.95 C.
Attachment #4: Tarball of data for Attachment #2.
Remarks:
- Confirmed that PDA 55 is in the "0dB" setting - the actual dial is unmarked, and has 5 states. I guessed that the left-most one is 0dB, and checked that if I twiddled the dial by one state to the right, the DC level on the scope increased by 10dB as advertized. Didn't check all the states.
- DC level is ~2.3V on a high-impedance scope. So it will be ~1.15V to a 50ohm load, which is what the DC block is. The inverse of this value is used to calibrate the vertical axis of the TF measurement to RIN/V.
- Input R (split RF source signal) attenuation: 20dB. Input A (PDA55 output) attenuation: 0dB.
- Main problem is still network hangups when trying to do many sweeps.
- Seems to persist even when I connect the GPIB box to one of the network switches - so don't think we can blame the WiFi.
- Need to explore possibility of speedup - takes >2hours to run ~50scans!
To-do:
- Overlay median and uncertainty plots for the two temp. settings. There is a visible diference in both the locations and depths/heights of various notches/peaks in the AM profile.
- Repeat test with a fast focusing lens to focus the beam more tightly on the PD active area to confirm that the measured AM is indeed due to the PZT drive and not from beam-jitter (presently, spot diameter is ~0.5x active area diameter, to eye).
- Get the PM data.
- Depending on what the PM data looks like, do a more fine-grained scan around some promising AM notches / PM peaks.
