Videos of flashes and a very noisy lock.
In Attachment 1 and the video showing a lock, the PDH signal essentially goes to its rails. Most of the noise is in oscillations that are roughly at 143 kHz.
Cavity and Lock Parameters
This elog (2815) shows the cantilever with its mount and a top view of the cavity.
Optics
- FSR: ~ 600 MHz
- Finesse: [Input coupler transmittance: <4% , Cantilever transmittance:]. Check polarization - measure Finesse for both.
- cavity pole: also depends on polarization
- DC optical gain (measured as the PDH slope): W/m, W/Hz
Electronics
- Laser resistance->temperature conversion chart
- Laser temp->frequency to be measured using beat (has not been done consistently in the past since it varies with current)
- Actuation Coefficient
- Signal path calibration (first should optimize demod phase)
- New Focus 1811 40,000 V/A, ~0.85 A/W ?
- Mixer conv loss: 5 dB
- 50 Ohm term before LP (6 dB attenuation)
- compare the W/m calibration to expectation based on:
- input laser power
- RF modulation depth
- cavity Finesse
- LB lock box transfer function with & w/o Boost engaged.
- Useful dynamic ranges
- LB box input stage: +- 10 V. The input stage is a difference amplifier buffer, allowing +- 10 V common mode signals to be subtracted before the filter stage
- LB box filter stage: +- 330 mV
- LB box summing stage: +- 10 V
- LB box output drive: +- 20 mA or +- 10 V
- ITC 502 current modulation input: +- 10 V
- Measure transfer functions of laser
- Measure ITC current driver separately, then ITC+laser
- Measure phase response using beat and phase lock
