To summerize the results of this week :

We made the setup in attachement 5 and align it to have the good mode in the cavity (TEM00).

With the good alignment, we found the lock of the GHz, in attachement 1. We used the motors in the cavity to position very precisely the mirrors to find this lock.

In attachement 2, we can see the error signal obtain thanks to the PDH, which is very clean.

But after that, we saw some modulations at 30 kHz frequency which represent the resonance frequency of the piezo in the GHz (attachement 3). To compensate this, we placed a fibered AOM to cut the high frequencies.

Finally, we observed a big difference in the transmission noise if the motor loop is open or closed (attachement 4). To have the best noise, we have to stop the closed loop and stay in open loop, after adjusting the mirrors with the cosed loop.

We have also measured the finesse (2000) and the coupling (20%), detailed in the previous post.
