I used a function generator to drive the south NPRO PZT with a triangle wave. Then with the 14.75 MHz sidebands on, I used a PDA100A to watch the south cavity transmission.
Looking by eye at the carrier and sideband transmission peaks, I find an actuation coefficient of 4.4(2) MHz/V, which is higher than what Tara measured in 2010 (maybe the coefficient depends on which axial mode the NPRO is operating on?)
From the attached plot, we can also see that the mode splitting for the south cavity is 2.0(4) MHz. |
