Found the beat @ 116 MHz. RCAV SLOW =5.762V, ACAV SLOW = 1.209 V.

beat 1kHz input range, calibration  = 718 Hz/V

above, beat signal with 1kHz input range on Marconi.

Plenty of things that I need to optimize and add:

input optics (ACAV/RCAV):

  • beam alignment
  • optimizing quarter wave plates in front of the cavities.
  • block all the reflected beams properly
  • fixing the back reflection from vac window for ACAV.
  • measure error point noise from both servos and compare them with beat
  • optimizing TTFSS servo gain

Beat setup:

  •  mode matching lens
  • power on beat PD
  • optimizing PLL servo
  • implementing ISS

Seismic isolation

  • new table legs ( I have not ordered the new set yet). The current set is broken
  •
