Today we were able to get the servo running which we described in the previous eLog. The servo locked beautifully and the instabilities other wise observed without the zero we specifically added was gone. There was small change that had to be made, the servo had the wrong sign which we very took care of. So, just for the sake of completeness, I am attaching the TF of the inverted and the non- inverted servo. Also, I am attaching the corrected schematic. I coudn't take a snap of how the lock was before and after we introduced the our servo( I will make sure its in the next log).

Addititonally, we assembled koji style beam dumps onto our setup, but the alignment was such that we couldn't place the third beam dump for the reflection coming from the bea splitter. So we may have to realign the beam splitter and then re-align the PDs as well. Its not as tedious as it sounds and we should be done with it tomorrow.

The only thing that would now remain would be to design and implement the servo for intensity suppression, what makes it ore difficult is that we need to include a very quiet reference in the circuit and we are brainstroming over it. Also, find attached a image of the actual servo we built. Also, I have attached the LISO simulation code.
