- pic transmission à 5V
- couplage ~7%
Décalage du spot (très faible, à peine visible à la camera NF_refl)
- grosse perte en transmission ==> alignement OK
Grossissement du spot
* début taille_sigma à 0.220mm (calibration NF_Refl)
* nouvelle position en éloignant la lentille 1 taille à 0.300mm ==> max transmission ~3V,
- Walk en vertical ==> pas d'amélioration et dégradation.
- Divergent en entrée de cavité (test à la carte)
* En rapprochant la lentille 1 passage pas le minimum de taille vers 0.190 mm
* Depassement du minimum. Taille faisceau 0.317 mm (0.380 mm sur y) ==> max transmission ~2.5V,
- Walk en vertical ==> pas d'amélioration et dégradation.
- divergence pas apréciable
* On se met au minimum de taille sur la caméra. Taille faisceau 0.178 mm (0.170mm sur y) ==> max transmission ~5.3V
- Couplage 25% max (beaucoup de fluctuations).
- Gros décalage vertical (~ 1 sigma) ne provoque pas une baisse du transmis.
- Décalage horizontal sensible.
Après mangé Ronic a "lockée" la cavité. Le gain de la photodiode en transmission a été changé et la tension sur la résonnance principale est d'environ 600 - 800 mV
deux images ont été faites en entrée de cavité à environ 18 cm du splitter pour la camera de test afin d'être à peu près à une distance équivalente du miroir d'injection M1.

Blanc | Fixed | info | lasers and optics | Optical room | Polarisation Results of the NKT |
I made many tests about polarization and we can see some points thanks to the following figures :
1- The ellipsicity of the NKT is near to 0 (between -0,2 and 0,2) which means the polarization is rectilinear horizontale (attachement 1).
2- The power of the NKT has no influence on the polarization, verticale or horizontale (attachement 2 and 3).
3- The polarization is not changed by the type of mirror (Ag or Diélec) (attachement 4)
The next step is to measure the polarization after the cavity to know the ellipsicity. |

Blanc | Fixed | info | lasers and optics | detectors and electronics | Optical room | Locking of the cavity and setup changing |
We change the setup a bit to have the same polarization on the photodiode and the PDH (in reflexion of the cavity). CF: schematics (futur).
Thanks to that, the symetry between reflexion and transmission is better now (as you can see on the plot).
We also put more power on PHD to have a better SNR by changing splitters. (We had 100 µW and now we have more than 1 mW, at the expense of the power on the camera).
Thanks to that we obtained a good locking, The coupling is quite good (roughtly 50%, on the green line)
In the following plot, the green line is the reflexion and the yellow lin is the transmission. |

Blanc | Fixed | info | lasers and optics | Optical room | Polarisation Results of the NKT |
To have the polarisation, we must have 1 value because the laser in entry of the system has 1 polar. Due to that, the graphe of the ellipticity is not true, it is the mean value on the following table which shows the ellipticity and the polarization.

We put a diaphragm in the input beam but it doesn't work to suppress the ring light only but it attenuates the whole transmitted beam (cavity mode and ring light) viewed on the camera. |

After data processing, I finally find the polarization in transmissin of the FPC. As you can see below, the polarisation is not linear but elliptical.
The four ellipsies are here due to having not enougth parameters to extract with certainty one ellipse. |

Blanc | Fixed | info | mechanics | lasers and optics | detectors and electronics | Optical room | 1GHz oscillator Frep measurement |
| a previous cavity FSR measurement was giving a center frequency around 867.5MHz.
the present 1GHz oscillator Frep measurement is about 879.888MHz.
the present shift is about 12.4MHz which is equivalent to move one cavity lenght by 4.3mm which is HUGE !!!
as the 1GHz oscillator does not have any motor, one has to move the FP cavity mirrors instead.
the PZT inside the 1GHz oscillator (Thorlabs PC4QR) has a dynamic range of (20µm for 150V... we will drive it with 10V) 1.3µm.
then, we will have to adjust the FP cavity FSR with an accuracy much better than 4kHz (the cavity linewidth is 500kHz !!!) |

Blanc | Fixed | info | lasers and optics | detectors and electronics | Optical room | Finess and coupling measurement |
We did the measurement of the Finess and coupling with the NKT, with 2 EOM, without AOM (so the lock signal is noisy), on the burst line.
For the coupling, we have the same value as with the GHz locked on the burst line too, which is around 20 percent.
it seems this low coupling comes from the geometrical coupling as we observed an incoming beam bigger than the cavity mode on the cameras.
(the same oscillator, locked on the lock line exhibit 50% coupling)
the FSR center value is 879.9MHz, and the FWHM is between 879.67MHz and 880.1MHz.
So, the linewidth is about 430kHz and then the Finess value is roughly the same as before about 2050.

Blanc | Fixed | info | lasers and optics | detectors and electronics | Optical room | Setup and measurements |
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.
