The beam axis of the Y green light has been aligned.
Now I can see TEM00 mode is flashing on the ETMY camera.

The next step is to refine some electronics in the PDH loops to get the green light locked to the Y arm cavity.
If the beam isn't locked, I guess the in-vac-work will be so difficult because of the low intensity of the green light.
According to a brief check on the circuits, a low pass filter after the demodulation mixer is in a sad situation.
It doesn't pass any signals and in fact it behaves more like an absorber.
On the other hand, the modulation system looks fine to me because I was able to see the 270 kHz sideband converted into AM due to the fringing.
