I made 40k:4k passive filter in a POMONA box and connected it to IN1 (not TEST IN1) of the FSS box.
With this modification and cut-and-tries with the gain sliders, I was able to lock the MC with 80kHz bandwidth by feeding back directory to the laser frequency.
The attached figure shows the open loop transfer function.
The phase margin is thin at 80kHz. Because of this, I could not turn on the MC super boost filters.
But I believe that we can increase the gain further by modifying the filter shape.
I used the following settings:
[MC Board]
C1:IOO-MC_REFL_GAIN 14
C1:IOO-MC_REFL_OFFSET -4.2381
C1:IOO-MC_BOOST1 0 (You can turn it on if you want, but turn it off for locking)
C1:IOO-MC_BOOST2 0
C1:IOO-MC_POL 1 (Minus)
C1:IOO-MC_VCO_GAIN 4
C1:IOO-MC_LIMITER 1 (Disable)
[FSS box]
C1:PSL-FSS_SW1 0 (Test1 ON)
C1:PSL-FSS_INOFFSET 0.1467
C1:PSL-FSS_MGAIN 30
C1:PSL-FSS_FASTGAIN 14 (Do not increase it, at least while locking. Otherwise the phase lag from the PZT loop gets significant and the MC loop will be conditionally stable).
I also turned down the FSS slow servo's RC transmission threshold to zero so that the slow servo works even without the RC locked. |
