Subject: comparing the PSL with the X-end-NPRO through the green beat 

Objective:

      We wish to study the coherence of the two NPROs i.e. PSL and the X-end-NPRO by locking both of them to the X-arm and then observing the green beat frequency fluctuations. 

What we did:

   a) locked the PSL to the X-arm as described in 4153

   b) locked the x-end-NPRO to the X-arm with a PDH lock to the reflected green from the ETMX

   c) Obtained the green beat signal with a spectrum analyser as described in 3771

Observations:

   Please see the attached screen shots from the spectrum analyser.   They are taken with different BW and sweep range settings.  They give a estimate of the width of the green beat signal and the range of the frequency fluctuations of the beat-note.

Estimates:

   a) width of the beat note is less than 6KHz if measured over time scales of a few milli seconds

   b) the frequency fluctuations of the beat note are about 100KHz over time scales longer than 100ms

Next Step:

    We wish to record the beat note frequency as a function of time in order to establish the stability over time scale of a day.
