Attached are gain-variation measurements of the final, in situ AUX-to-PSL phase-locked loop (PLL).

Attachment 1: Figure of open-loop transfer function

Attachment 2: Raw network analyzer data

The figure shows the open-loop transfer function measured at several gain settings of the LB1005 PI servo controller. The shaded regions denote the 1-sigma sample variance inferred from 10 sweeps per gain setting. This analysis supercedes previous posts as it reflects the final loop architecture, which was slightly modified (now has a 90 dB low-frequency gain limit) as a workaround to make the LB1005 remotely operable. The measurements are also extended from 100 kHz to 1 MHz to resolve the PZT resonances of the AUX laser.

Conclusions:

• Gain variation confirms response linearity.
• At least two PZT resonances above the UGF are not far below unity (150 kHz and 500 kHz).
• Recommend to lower the proportional gain by 3 dB. This will place the UGF at 30 kHz with 55 degrees of phase.
