 Title: Cavity Lock  

Closing the series for the setup

The cavity was only locked @ 133.33 MHz but the Finesse was not measured

The FSR was changed to match the new laser MENHIR 216.6625 MHz

Cavity locked today under vacuum and no airflow, it is stable over a long time

the alignment was improved and an increase of the transmission by 20 % from its original value

unfortunately,  data from the oscilloscope was saved, but it was not in the correct format (image) to show.

Attached ; the mode shape, the new motor positions.

Current setup at SBox for locking the cavity

After spacial matching, the coupling increased to ~ 15 - 20 % 

The locking was done for the fundamental mode, tried to improve the coupling with the motors, but the lock is very unstable to be investigated. (Note: the cavity in under normal pressure)

Start with the cavity lock images attached, taken from last week, at start we have a coupling ~ 5%  and started improving on the alignment .

The image of 00 modes attached corresponds to the coupling seen on the oscilloscope.

We have a higher coupling with the 11 mode due to the size of the injected beam in comparison to mode

lenses were added to improve it.
