The optimum temperature for the doubling crystal on the PSL table was found to be 36.8 deg.

I scanned the temperature of the crystal from 44 deg to 29 deg, in order to find the optimum temperature where the frequency doubled power is maximized. 

(method) 

The method I performed is essentially the same as that Koji did before (see this entry).

(1) First of all, I enabled the PID control on the temperature controller TC200 and set the temperature to 44 deg.

(2) After it got 44 deg, I disabled the PID control.

(3) Due to the passive cooling of the oven, the temperature gradually and slowly decreased. So it automatically scans the temperature down to the room temperature.

(4) I recorded the power readout of the power meter: New Port 840 together with the temperature readout of TC200. The power meter was surely configured for 532 nm.

(result)

The measured data are shown in the attachment. 

The peak was found at T=36.8 deg where the power readout of  532 nm was 605 uW.

Compared with Koji's past data (see this entry), there are no big side lobes in this data. I am not sure about the reason, but the side lobes are not critical for our operation of the green locking.
