today, to match the ring frequency at 500.25MHz (15th laser harmonic), we did a frequency shift on the laser using the Smaract motors (not too fast, ~2µm/s, to prevent laser modelock loss)
and we "followed" this shift on the FP-cavity using the FP-cavity motors.
we did several steps during the operation, to control the alignment, coupling and transmission.
finally, we locked again the laser and FP-cavity at 17kW for 30% of input power.
the coupling was quite low ~10% |
