We want to measure the g-factor of the PRC using the beat note of the main laser with an auxiliary NPRO laser.
We are going to phase lock the NPRO to the main laser (taking it from POY) and then we will inject the NPRO through the AS edge of the ITMY.
Today Sendhil and I installed the auxiliary laser on the ITMY table moving it from the AS table.
We also installed the beam steering optics, except the BS which will launch the beam through the AR edge of the ITMY.
To do: install the BS, take the POY beam and mix it with the auxiliary laser on a photodiode to phase lock the two lasers, do better calculations for the mode matching optics to be used for the auxiliary laser beam. |
