Attachment #1 shows the ALS noise measurement today. Main differences from the spectrum posted last week is that
- I have tried to align the input polarization axis (p-pol) to the fast axis of the fiber, and believe I have done it to ~75dB.
- Steve and I installed some protective tubing for the vertical lengths of fiber going into the beat mouth.
- Today, I decided to measure the noise at the differential rear panel outputs rather than the single-ended front panel outputs. For the test, I used a DB25 breakout board and some pomona mini-grabber to BNC clips to connect to the SR785.
For comparison, I have plotted alongside today's measurement (left column) the measurement from last week (right column).
Conclusions:
- The clear daylight between red and green traces in the left column give me confidence that I am measuring real laser frequency noise in the red trace. It even has the right shape considering the bandwidth of the EX PDH servo.
- The installation of protective tubing doesn't seem to have reduced the heights of any of the peaks in the red traces. I hypothesize that some of these are acoustic coupling to the fiber. But if so, either the way we installed the protective tubing doesn't help a whole lot, or the location of the coupling is elsewhere.
- Judging by the control room analyzer, there doesn't seem to be as large drifts in the RF beat amplitude tonight (
) as I saw the last couple of times I was testing the BeatMouth®. For a more quantitative study, I'm gonna make a voltage divider so that the ~10V output I get at the rear panel power monitor output (for a LO level of ~0dBm, which is what I have) can be routed to some ADC channel. I'm thinking I'll use the Y ALS channels which are currently open while ALS is under work.
- Still have to make preamp prototype daughter board with the right whitening shape... This test suggests to me that I should also make the output differential sending...
