  29   Wed Nov 13 13:15:53 2019 Loïc AmoudryFixedreportlasers and opticsOtherAFM+ InfraRed spectroscopy (IR spectro) has been performed

AFM+ InfraRed spectroscopy (IR spectro) has been performed on 400kW S-BOX mirrors.

Seems that XPS made M3 and M4 dirty, but M1 have also ome dust. M2 seems clean, further AFM experiment should show that it is as clean as M1.

I just had a phone call with Jérome and he told me 2 things :

* Be carefull ! the MightyLaser amplifier is not designed to work with 33MHz laser : the streching level is not sufficient !
One could worsen the phase noise by self-modulation due to peak power or even distroy the amplifier !
One should use it only at low power !!!

* He thinks we should more or less find back the same DC levels than before even with lower seeding power and lower repetition rate.
He thinks we should look at the optical spectrum to check if we don't have some ASE in the 1st stage and 2nd stage signal !
We can send him plots or call him to discuss these points.

First stage amplifier works good, monitoring phtodiode gives more than 200mV DC signal with 50ohm impedance on oscilloscope (as attached photo);

 

Second stage, the old monitoring photodiode is broken, a new monitoring photodiode is connected, which we don't have reference data for it,

on the optical output port of the monitoring signal, it's written 150mW, but at where we measured 40mW.

  28   Fri Feb 1 14:04:27 2019 Loïc AmoudryFixedinfolasers and opticsOtherMeeting with LMA people, AFM

30/01/19 - The following powerpoint shows the results discussed with LMA people.

What came out from the discussion is:

- Their cleaning method uses demineralized water drop on a spinner. It is probably the explanation of the circular traces on the mirror's surfaces but we still don't know what is this deposit (XPS is running out on 2 of this mirrors at this time).

-  According to their point of view, the spots could come from the coating deposition technique and are "normal". No real explaination, should not come from the substrat which is ultra-polished but can come from some clustering in the coating.

We gave them 2 of the mirrors so they can check if it is possible to clean them. They'll also do a measurement of the mirror's topology.

All the mirrors show impacts on there surface (some of them do not show deposit). Does it come from experiments or fabrication ? Are these holes or bumps ?

Cleaning on dirty surface shows something is deposited on the surface. Cleaning displaces and removes part of the deposit.

Mirrors arrived today from LMA. Their features are damaged.

Photos avant ou après nettoyage, pas clair dans le mail de Laurent : 

"J'ai commencé à nettoyer M1 et M2 avec notr methode habituelle et je me suis aperçu que sur la partie centrale (en gros taille de ton faisceau j'ai l'impression) que des choses apparaissaient (voir photo)
Si bien que la diffusion n'a pas évolué dans le bon sens (diminution) voir empiré pour M1. J'ai donc arrêter de les nettoyer !!!
J'ai regardé les faces arrières des miroirs avant nettoyage et j'ai pu voir ce que tu vois sur la photo même au centre. Je sais pas de quoi cela peut venir.
Une chose est sûre le coating IBS a été altéré par je ne sais quoi dans ta manip provoquant cette dégradation dès qu'on y touche. L'interaction avec les faisceaux d'eélectrons n'avait jamais altéré les miroirs sur l'expértience DESY par exemple!!
Pour me rassurer, j'ai pris un miroir fait sur un micropoli qu'on a en stock et aucun pb lors du nettoyage (on peut penser à tout)"

The new mirrors didn't give expected results. Then the 4 old mirrors have been sent to LMA on 12/11/18 for a cleaning and caracterization before and after cleaning. Also asked for a diffusion/absorption map on the mirrors if possible. They didn't really answered on what will they do. 
Received on 13/11/18 by LMA.
