Yesterday,
- we installed the second high power reflecting mirrors at the output of the amplifier.
- We aligned and installed a telescope that has adjustable distance between the 2 lenses of -100 mm, and + 200 mm, with approximate diameter at the injection window of ~ 4.5 mm.
- Amplifier was turned on only at the first stage only (output power ~ 300 mW) aligned and injected into the cavity.
- Measured the repetition frequency of the One Five oscillators, Frep = 33.326239 MHz
- Changed the FSR of the cavity to match it.
- Using the Piezo scan on the oscillator, we observed 00 Mode, Fundamental. the shape is the same
- We see transmission on the diode, but there was zero coupling observed (yet to be investigated experimentally )
- a reason could be the CEP of the oscillator ,
- bad matching of the beam waist position,
- noise from the amplifier (as we were operating it at very low power)
- additional alignment needed,
