[Suresh / Kiwamu]
We did the following things :
- Took the LightWave NPRO out from the MOPA box
- Temporarily took out the laser controller which has been connected to the Y end laser.
- Put the LightWave on AP table and plugged the laser controller and confirmed that it still emits a beam

[Things to be done]
- measure the beam profiles and power
- get a laser controller, which will be dedicated for this laser, from Peter King
[Background and Motivation]
The PRC and SRC length have to be precisely measured before the vent.
In order to measure those absolute length we are going to use the Stochino technique, which requires another laser to scan the cavity profiles.
The LightWave NPRO laser in the MOPA box was chosen for the Stochino laser because it has a large PZT range of 5 MHz/V and hence allows us to measure a wider frequency range.
The laser in the MOPA box had been connected to home-made circuits, which are not handy to play with. So we decided to use the laser with the usual laser controller.
Peter King said he has a LightWave laser controller and he can hand it to us.
Until we get the controller from him we do some preparations with temporary use of the Y end laser controller. |
