this morning, we locked the laser on the FP-cavity with about 48-49kW stable in the FP-cavity (for 32% of amplifier ratio).
and then we locked the FP-cavity on the RF reference (500MHz beating lock + 33MHz beating for starting lock search).
the starting lock search voltage has been chosen between -20mV and +20mV.
then we lock with an uncertainty of 180°... but we can check the lock phase with the "Synchro oscilloscope" (192.168.229.21).
if necessary, we can stop the lock and let the phase drift and then relock with the right phase.
Kevin did a buckets scan (30ns by 2ns steps) to find the right bucket and also a fine phase tuning scan (2ns scan).
unfortunately, the fine phase was close to 0, so the Laselock did the fine phase adjustement by changing the SetPoint of the RF loop to : -720mV
at this moment, we got relatively stable X-rays at an approximated flux of 1e10 photons/s
we still need to optimize phase, table position and improve the jitters...
