Today, I implemented the intensity servo and characterised it using the voltage injection method to calculate its loop gain. I also compared it with the simulations for the same that I performed on LISO. I have attached the figures below. I also completed the circuit I made to measure the differential signal of the PDs(its just a voltage regulator setup with a AD620 with a gain of 100), but I could not characterize or take measurements using that. I will do that tomorrow.
1) RIN with and without feedback( both in-loop and out-of loop). The gain for this loop was set at 200, this was to compensate the -16.5dB loss in the remaining setup(AOM, RF function generator etc).
2) Open loop gain Transfer function- simulated and measured.
I am still stuck on how to measure the difference in the reponse of the two transimpedence amplifiers on the photodiode readout board, I have a few ideas, I am assessing their validity. |
