I add the broad band EOM in the beam path. After adjusting the periscope, I can steer the beam into the RefCav and see the reflected light. It's not aligned yet.
The 35.5 MHz is set on the table with a lens to focus the beam on the PD.
I'm not sure if I have to use the laser controller for 126 model or I could use the 10W laser to scan the beam, I'll consult Peter tomorrow.
Right now we are using the 10W laser controller to power the 100mW laser. The connector had been unstable, but now it's working fine.
It will be better if I can use the 10W controller to dither the laser frequency because I won't have to switch the cable, and avoid the risk of having to deal with the cable again.
Forgot to log this yesterday:
The PMC servo in medm's command window is correct.
I need to make SMA cables (properly insulated kind) too.
From 21.5 MHz PD to servo, 25 feet,
from 35.5 MHz PD to servo, 25 feet,
from 35.5 MHz EOM to signal box, 5 feet,
from 35.5 MHz LO to signal box, 20 feet. |
