- At the reference zero the distance between the mirrors is (taken from a reference presentation "status9nov2020" attached):
M1-M2 = 88.029 mm
M3-M4 = 84.6895 mm
- The distances between the spherical mirrors ( M3-M4 ) was set to take into account the stability of the mirror ( M3-M4 > Spherical mirror focal length = 85.3 mm)
M3-M4 = 90.5 mm
we increased the distance between them by 5.8 mm, and moving the mirrors symmetrically, M3 and M4 moved by -2.9 mm (negative defines outer motion)
- Following the definition of M3-M4, fixing of the angle = 2.55637 degrees and frequency (Frep = 876.3636 MHz). Distance between planners (M1-M2)
M1-M2 = 80.2 mm
we decreased the distance between them by 7.83 mm, and moving the mirrors symmetrically, M1 and M2 moved by +3.915 mm (positive defines inward motion)

Following the Helium Neon Alignment + change in the distance between the mirrors to be; M3-M4 = 90.5 mm , M1-M2 = 80.2 mm -→ The alignment using the Koheras CW laser is done.
- Additional components used:
- for monitoring beam : Photodiode (power of beam), Beam Profiler (shape, position, power , ... )
- for Koheras frequency scan: function generator, Amplifier or use lase-lock (had some issues to be checked)
- Telescope: made using 1 m focal length to match the beam shape of the cavity
- Observed during:
- The alignment is fairly similar to the previous one, placed two irises to preserve it.
- Fundamental mode observed (beam profiler after M2) was circular
- when the frequency scan was fine-tuned around the fundamental mode we could see the mode pulsing in the cavity, but there was a bit of instability.
- when doing a very wide frequency scan (50 V ~ 1.5 GHz), multiple modes where showing inside the cavity
Photos attached show:
- some resonating modes in the cavity
- Fundamental mode resonating in the cavity, with its properties (2D shape, 1D shape, position) ** The picture is taken after subtracting the background **
- from 2D it is very circular
- from 1D it is confirmed to be circular (715.00 um - 704.00 um)
- From position, we have a reference to compare with tomorrow morning.
- Diffraction that can be observed in the cavity (you can clearly see the edges of the mirrors in the photo)
- The temperature curve is attached for the duration of the exp. (before starting Ronic switched something off and then put it on !!!!!! it seems to be for temp regulation )
** Notes for tomorrow morning : first : switch on the laser and check if the beam 00 mode is still observed and check its position
this is to see the stability and the effect of the temperature. |

Manar Amer | Fixed | report | lasers and optics | Other | Mode observed and cavity Lock |
** Following up from yesterday an observation about the TM00 mode : it has been seen with similar dimensions and its position is the same, this was before restarting the temperature regulator.
--> after restarting the temp. regulator there was a slight shift in the position (likely it is caused by the temperature variation, a temperature graph for during the morning is attached)
** Coupling of the cavity and koheras is observed (photo attached)
** Error curve measurement to be done.
- What we used before to do a frequency scan and lock the cavity was a function generator and an amplifier
- There is noise from the amplifier causing the sweep to pass through the cavity frequencies a lot.
- we shift to using LaseLock, it gives a very clean sweep ( a clean sweep meaning we have a resistance at the output of laselock combined with the capacitance in the Piezo input behind the koheras, this gives the time constant which affects the signal shape)
- Changes in the temperature of the koheras affects its wavelength and in turn the mode resonates in the cavity.
- note** when the mode is at the top peak of the sweep (Piezo ) meaning we are observing the resonance at the ends of the sweep, we increase the temperature of the laser very slightly to shit the sweep a little ( temp increase ~ 0.010 c , very small increase step by step )
- For observing the Mode Lock of the cavity, there are a few points to be aware of :
- Coupling Frequency -----{convention represented in blue curve}
- The reflection from the mirror M1 (cavity reflection) -----{convention represented in yellow curve}
- The transmission from the nirrors M2,M3,M4 ( what is resonating in the cavity) -----{convention represented in green curve}
- :When the laser is in resonance with the cavity "locked" the reflection decreases and power is stored momentarily in the cavity meaning the transmission increase that is why when the cavity is locked we see a decrease in the reflection (yellow curve) and at the same moment an increase in the cavity transmission (green curve)
- To be done : do a measurement of the error signal curve, what is needed :
- the reflected beam (split it into two ) -- one for coupling measurement done before and the other for the error signal curve
- PDH -- photodiode with bandwidth amplifier
- Function generator
- EOM

New update on the position of the Motors for the cavity
***** we moved the motors to set the cavity at 876MHz, and checked it right after with the RF modulation at FSR.
So compared to the expected setting we had to move inwards the two planar mirrors by 0.9 mm each.
Planar : M1-M2 motor = + 4.815 mm ------> M1-M2 = 78.399 mm
Spherical : M3-M4 motor = -2.9 mm ------> M3-M4 = 90.4895 mm

Aurélien Martens | Fixed | report | lasers and optics | detectors and electronics | Optical room | Lock, cavity length and finesse estimate |
Ronic just suceeded in obtaining a reasonably good lock on the cavity. Air flow is switched off.
We stopped all movements (closed loop, click STOP in the PTC interface) and saw immediately a fair but not excellent lock.
We then switched off the smaract motors and the obtained lock was good. Switching on again the smaract means tthat the references are lost.
We futher saw a drift of the locking point, probalby suggetsing that the thermal load in the cavity slightly changed after switching off the motors.
We then added the second 1GHz BW EOM to add sidebands thanks to the MARCONI RF generator. We observed that the FSR is aroung 867.6MHz (in air). We then looked at the points where the transmission signal related to the sideband is halved. We observed that the corresponding frequencies are 867.296 and 867.776MHz. the corresponding FWHM of about 500kHz corresponds approximately to a 2000 finesse.

Aurélien Martens | Fixed | report | lasers and optics | detectors and electronics | Optical room | Lock, cavity length and finesse estimate |
we observed that the transmitted light coming from the cavity is made of the cavity mode light and the scattered light on the borders of the mirrors.
the scattered light on the borders of the mirrors is triggered by the cavity mode itself when the cavity is locked.
we didn't put an iris to cut this scattered light coming from the cavity.
Question:
could it be possible that the wrong Finesse value could come from the fact that the transmission was measured with the whole light coming from the cavity and not only the cavity mode light?

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. |

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.
| Blanc wrote: |
|
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.

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. |

Manar Amer | Under Process | report | lasers and optics | Optical room | Reflection Line Polarization Measuremet |
With the help of Ronic the cavity was locked in preparation to measure the polarization of the reflection line when the cavity is locked (measurement when it is not locked was done before)
the purpose is to compare the two measurements (locked vs not locked)
General details:
- when not locked : measurements of the polarization was taken from the point where the photodiode is placed in the picture enclose
- When Locked: we can't measure it from that point as we need the line to split into two, one goes to PDH to maintain the lock of the cavity and the other one we use for our measurement.
- The reflection line is split at the point where the beam splitter is (BS, behind the photodiode in picture), we intended to take the measurements from this point.
Observation:
before starting the measurement of polarization, we observed
- the power measured for the reflection line (point at end of red arrow in picture, after BS) is really sensitive to the polarization, it shows when rotating the half-wave plate
- but, when measuring the power at the point shown in the picture (before BS, where the photodiode is placed) it is not sensitive to polarization.
This tells us that the dielectric BS placed in the reflection line affects the polarization.
This could affect the stability of the locking of the cavity, as the PDH is sensitive to polarization.
** Further investigation is needed before proceeding **
Footnotes:
- BS: Beam splitter.
- Dielectric component's sensitivity to polarization
- most of the components placed in the transmission line are dielectric.

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 !!!) |

the drift is 4um/hour which amounts to about 10kHz drift / hour+the temperature of the optics room also changed unfortunaltey (linked to extinction of air flow at around 11am this morning). the drift in the room temperature was about 0.5K from 1pm to 2pm and 3K since 11am.

Ronic Chiche | Fixed | info | lasers and optics | Optical room | Locking with fast analog loop on AOM |
in addition to the standard locking scheme with the GHz laser PZT,
we added an AOM after the PDH modulation EOM and we drove it with an FM modulated signal generator (FMDev = 2.4MHz) seeded by the error signal.
(we didn't put a 50ohm plug to adapt the error signal coming from the PDH box, otherwise, it is too much smaller)
the result is a transmitted signal almost clean for some milliseconds... but we still have regular unlocks that the PZT loop is unable to drive.
the PZT resonant frequency around 30kHz seems much less present in the error signal.
todo list:
- take some data of the error/trans signals to make a post-mortem analysis (a windowed FFT could tell us if the 30kHz is more powerful just before an unlock)
- make an RLC model of the cable+resistor+PZT capacitor, to try to find a way to dump the 30kHz frequency.

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.

here are the 2 different spectrums:
- the 1kHz-10kHz is a standard spectrum where we see the impedance behavior of the PZT: Zpzt ~ 1/jCw
- the 10kHz-100kHz exhibit several PZT resonances and the 1st one is close to 28kHz.
(without PZT resonances, we should have the same behavior at higher frequencies than in the range 1kHz-10kHz) |

3 phase noise measurements made on the Amplitude GHz oscillator with different PZT configurations :
- black curve: PZT connector is open
- green curve: PZT connector is shorted by 50 ohms
- blue curve: PZT is excited by 100mVrms of white noise coming from a generator.
on the blue curve, one can clearly see a phase noise increase in the region 10kHz - 1MHz but it is not evident the peaks seen with the PZT open or shorted are related to the peaks excited with the noise injected on the PZT.
with a PZT not excited, one can just observe that the phase noise is decreasing a lot around 10kHz to reach the reference oscillator phase noise floor and then increase again exactly when the PZT resonant frequencies appear, between 20kHz and 200kHz.... reaching at the end the phase noise detection floor.
I add below the measurements done on October 20th, the ones done in September which are very similar and on which one can see a peak around 26kHz. |

- max photodiode Transmission (60dB, OD30) : 1.9V
* Montée en Puissance 20 W
- début des effets thermiques : dérive thermique (la cavité chauffe et le piezo doit suivre, la tension baisse)
- max photodiode Transmission (40dB, OD30) : 1.6 V
- Reflection (~12%) ~140mV max:
* quand résonance => plus de signal sur la reflexion que hors lock.
- Hypothèses:
saturation de la photodiode ==> avec une densité OD10 (même effet)
effet de polarisation: essaie avec la densité OD10 (absorbante) dans le faisceau au niveau de la lambda/4 en reflection ==> la densité est brulée (ne tient pas la puissance)
==> essayer avec densité réflective.

Blanc | Under Process | info | lasers and optics | Optical room | Changements et ajout d'optiques |
Optiques ajoutées :
- splitter 90/10 au début de la voie de réflexion, pour éjecter le flux et éviter que les lambdas ne chauffent.
- deuxième polariser pour avoir une meilleur extinction.
- splitter 10/90 après la première lentille sur la voie d'injection qui envoie 10% du flux sur la photodiode de réflexion.
Optiques changées :
- miroir HR à la place d'un splitter 97/3 à 0° que l'on utilisait à 45° dont le faisceau en transmission allait sur la photodiode de réflexion.
- splitter 70/30 à la place d'un splitter 98/2 à 0° que l'on utilisait à 45° qui divisait champ proche/champ lointain.

Blanc | Fixed | issue | lasers and optics | detectors and electronics | Optical room | Différence de fréquence Tangor/Lockline |
- On a observé que le fondamental du Tangor et celui de la Lockline n'étaient pas situés à la même fréquence. Avec la différence de tension donnée par le piezo entre les deux et le déplacement du piezo en fonction de la tension appliquée donnée par sa datasheet (150 V pour 20 µm), on obtient un écart de fréquence de 121 MHz [Image 1].
- On a tout d'abord testé si les drivers qui contrôllent les AOMs 200 MHz et 40 MHz dans le tangor envoyaient la fréquence voulues, soit respectivement 200 MHz et 40 MHz, ce qui est le cas.
- Sachant que le fondamental de la lockline est initialement à 240 MHz, on a shifté la fréquence de celui-ci pour le superposer au fondamental du Tangor, ce qui a donné un écart de fréquence de 80 MHz environ. Cela montre en reprenant les calculs que le déplacement du piezo est de 20 µm pour 227 V [Image 2]. De plus cela correspondrait à un ordre 1 sur l'AOM 200 MHz et -1 sur l'AOM 40 MHz.
- Mercredi 11/05/2022 et jeudi 12/05/2022, la température de la salle est montée à 33°C. On a dû réaligner le Tangor et la lockline qui avaient bougés.
- Ajout sur la ligne de transmission d'une lambda/2 et d'une lambda/4, déplacement de la caméra et de la photodiode en transmisson, imagerie refaite. Alignement fin à finir sur la photodiode en transmission. Ajouter un TPBS pour envoyer le train du Tangor sur une photodiode rapide. Prendre les références des caméras.
- On a vu du couplage sur plusieurs modes dans la cavité avec le Tangor [Image 3]. |

- On observe que la forme du burst a un impact sur le PDH et par consequent sur le piezo [Image3 & 4]
- Possibilité d'ajuster cela en jouant sur le gain du PID, mais si on baisse en cadence, en duty cycle et qu'on monte en puissance cela suffira ? |

J'ai optimisé la polarisation du Tangor et de la Lockline en jouant sur l'angle du combiner et sur la lambda/2 de chacune des voies.
J'ai réussi à obtenir une polarisation croisée entre le Tangor et la Lockline et une polarisation quasi-linéaire pour chacune des deux voies.
Par contre, une partie de la puissance sur la ligne Tangor est perdu en passant à travers le combiner, car la fuite est plus intense (pas quantifiée car on n'y a pas accès).

Avec un setup plus fiable que précédemment, on a remesuré la polarisation du Tangor et de la lockline et en ajustant le combiner sur ses deux axes ainsi que la lambda/2 de chaque voies à l'aide du polariseur que l'on a placé avant le combineur.
On obtient l'état de polarisation optimal pour les deux voies.
Suite à cela, j'ai réaligné la lockline sur les caméras, cela donne les nouvelles positions suivantes :
941 ; 586 NF_inj
412 ; 279 FF_inj
j'ai également retouché aux moteur pour retrouver le mode fondamental :
5.198865 ; 5.220196 ; -2.9 ; -2.9
Une fois le lock établi, j'ai maximisé le signal en jouant sur la première paire de lambda avant la cavité, puis avec la deuxième paire j'ai cherché l'extinction maximale du Tangor sur la voie du PDH.
Enfin, j'ai pu injecter un burst dans la cavité, à 100 kHz PP, 1kHz AOM, 40% Trans AOM, P_Tang = 0.2W. (cf : image) |

- Il y a un offset sur le PDH qui varie, il est minimal quand le burst est bien injecté et augmente quand il est de moins en moins bien injecté (Une cause de la mauvaise injection du burst ??)
La quatrième image représente un délock/relock avec la lockline uniquement. Le signal sur la photodiode de réflexion n'est pas très élevé (désaligné? autre?)
Les trois dernières images représentent l'injection d'un burst au mieux possible après avoir changé la valeur de l'AOM lockline, ce qui a pour effet de jouer sur la CEP. |

J'ai fait les mesures de polarisation sur la voie de réflexion pour voir la polarisation avant le glan et après le glan du Tangor et de la lockline.
Dans l'ordre :
Image 1-9 : avant le glan
Image 10-18 après le glan
Malgré le fait que l'état de polarisation du Tangor et celui de l'axe du glan soient perpendiculaires, il n'y a pas extinction du Tangor en sortie de glan (défaut glan? partie du faisceau non polarisé?) |

Blanc | Fixed | info | lasers and optics | Optical room | Calcul Polar |
J'ai fait le calcul de la puissance du Tangor qui passait à travers le glan avec 3 hypothèses :
1- Le faisceau est totalement polarisé et le glan est parfait (cf : image 1)
2- Le faisceau est totalement polarisé et le glan est imparfait (cf : image 2)
3- Le faisceau est partiellement polarisé et le glan est imparfait (cf : image 3)
La quatrième image montre la cause du "bump" liée au stacking du Tangor sur la voie PDH.
Comme j'ai aligné le glan quand la cavité n'était pas lockée et que j'ai fait matché la polar avant la cavité avec celle du glan (toujours pas locké), dans le cas où la polar de la cavité lockée est différente (ici le cas critique est représenté), il y a une fraction du Tangor qui va passer à travers le cube. |

Blanc | Fixed | info | lasers and optics | Optical room | Polar cavité |
Après avoir locké avec la lockline et retiré le glan et la paire de lambda sur la voie PDH, j'ai observé que la polarisation dans la cavité changeait en fonction de la polarisation en amont que l'on pouvait changer grâce à la paire de lambda qui se trouve après le combiner. J'ai donc cherché à la rendre linéaire, vu que l'on a jusqu'ici préréglé la polarisation comme ci celle de la cavité était linéaire. (cf: images)
J'ai également observé que la perte de puissance sur la photodiode à gain utilisée pour le lock, que l'on pouvait observer en changeant la polarisation en entrée, n'était pas dûe au fait que la polarisation d'entrée ne soit pas la même que celle de la cavité, mais plutôt qu'elle était dûe au fait que la polarisation d'entrée ne soit pas la même que celle de l'ensemble lambda/4+lambda/2+PBS en transmission de la cavité. => On essayait de matcher au mieux avec cette polar et non celle de la cavité.
Il faut donc enlever le PBS pour pouvoir matcher au mieux avec la cavité. |

Après avoir enlevé le PBS en transmission de la cavité j'ai cherché à atteindre le maximum possible sur la photodiode de transmission en faisant varier la polarisation en entrée de la cavité.
J'ai remarqué que l'on était pas très sensible (40 mV d'incertitude) lorsque l'on atteignait le maximum et que l'on changeait l'état de polarisation (cf : images) |

Pour voir à quel endroit le couplage diminuait drastiquement, j'ai mesuré celui-ci pour différentes configurations.
On observe que le couplage diminue fortement après le passage dans l'AOM.
Celui-ci est à son fonctionnement nominal à 197 MHz et 350mVpp.
La puissance entrante est P_in = 20.75 mW et la puissance sortante est P_out = 10.11 mW. |

Blanc | Fixed | info | lasers and optics | Optical room | Couplage and CEP |
Pour avoir une idée du couplage en fonction de la CEP, j'ai pris 11 séries de 10 mesures de l'intensité réfléchie en changeant la CEP avec des AOM.
J'ai pu calculé chaque Δ = (I_Delock-I_lock)/I_Delock = C(1-|R|²) ainsi que leurs déviation standard, puis j'ai fait une moyenne sur les 10 mesures pour avoir un Δ et une barre d'erreur pour chaque Fréquence.
Enfin j'ai pu faire un fit de ces Δ en prenant en compte les barres d'erreur, et cela donne les courbes ci-dessous.
La première courbe est pour le preamp uniquement, et la deuxième pour le preamp+le premier étage de la lockline. |

Pour vérifier la cohérence des mesures précédentes, j'ai fait la même analyse avec l'intensité transmise.
J'ai calculé G = (I_Lock_Trans-I_Delock_Trans)/I_Delock_Refl ainsi que la deviation standard associée, puis moyenné et fitté, en prenant toujours en compte les barres d'erreurs.

Blanc | Fixed | info | lasers and optics | Optical room | Verification CEP |
On a voulu véifier que le changement de couplage induit par la CEP était une conséquence du changement de CEP dans l'oscillateur dû au très léger déplacement angulaire de la monture de fond de cavité où il y a le SESAM et le piezo.
Pour cela, j'ai changé très légèrement l'angle vertical de la monture de fond de cavité et j'ai vu un déplacement de Frep que l'on devait rattraper avec la cavité, ainsi qu'un changement dans le couplage (si on commence au couplage max, ~1/8 ème de tour de vis divise par 2 le couplage).
Le déplacement angulaire que l'on doit faire pour changer la CEP est également très inférieur à celui impliquand une perte du mode-lock (~5 tours de vis). De plus, l'expérience est reproductible, ce qui implique que l'on peut rattraper le shift induit par les AOM pour rester au meilleur couplage.
Cependant, il faut dorénavant vérifier avant toutes les manips la CEP de l'oscillateur pour se remettre au même point de fonctionnement. |

EOM sur le breadboard, pas d'ampli lockline:
Image 3 et 4 : Le niveau de signal est très bas en réflexion de la cavité, le modulation pourrait être noyé dans le bruit. Par contre il semblerait qu'en transmission il y ait possiblement la modulation mais ce n'est pas sûr. |
