I aligned the south cavity today achieving a nice 70% mode matching. While doing so, I realized a big issue that was gone unseen before the heater circuit blew up. I saw that since the vacuum can temperature control was active and was making a lot of jumps here and there all over the 1.5 A range, the Sorenson power supply isn't so good in keeping up with such sudden current changes. In effect, I think the Vacuum Can Heater's PID control signal gets coupled to the overall power supply coming from Sorenson.This +- 24 V rail was connected to EOM drivers earlier. Because of the poor design of EOM drivers, the EOM's are constantly at a DC voltage of +24V from this Sorrenson Power supply with only a passive filter. I could see today that when vacuum can PID was on, the laser frequency was haphazardly changing making it much more difficult to align the cavity. I was able to align it in minutes once I switched off the vacuum can PID.

So moral of the story is, keep the vacuum can heater circuit alone and Sorrenson Power supply is exclusive for it.

I shifted the EOM driver's power supply to Kepco which supplies for other rack-mount electronics as well.
