 Title: "ThomX" CELIA Amplifier commissionning 

The "ThomX" CELIA amplifier is installed on the optical table.
I added all the rubber pieces available between the 2 racks to isolate as best as possible the top rack, which embeds some fans, from the bottom rack from which the laser beam is going out to the FP cavity.

1ST STAGE
-----------------

if I put 1mW (minimum input power) on the input fiber of the amplifier and I switch ON the first stage, one can measure 7mW on the 5% output tap on the front panel.
then it is mandatory to check this power before swtiching ON the other stage.
this 5% output tap on the front panel MUST BE ABOVE 7mW

input power : 1mW => 5% output tap : 7mW => amplifier output : 260µW

with the present setup, I can reach 6.8mW of input power, but the 5% output tap seems to saturate at ~ 8mW.
in this condition, the amplifier output is around 800µW

the SMA connector on the rear panel does not output any signal with the 1st stage ON.

2ND STAGE
-----------------

then, one can switch ON the 2nd stage : amplifier output is around 1.4 W (without any iris or dichroïc mirror).

the SMA connector on the rear panel does not output any signal with the 2nd stage ON.
