Today, Daniele and I injected the laser into the fiber, installed the telescope, connected the second stage of the amplifier, and obtained resonances.
- The output power of the menhir laser @ 216MHz is 150mW, after CVBG is 28mW , 9.6mW injected into the fiber, and 1.6mW via AOM and EOM. This is not far from the minimum 1mW seed power required by the amplifier.
- The spectrum after CVBG is shown in Figure 1.
- The waist of this 2-mirror cavity is 0.583 mm, and the position is on the M1. A set of telescopes is designed and installed as in Figure 2.
- We injected the second stage of the amplifier into the cavity and obtained fundamental mode. Aurélien and I are trying to lock it.
