Today, we restarted the FP-cavity locking, after 3 weeks without using it.
those 3 weeks have been used to set the machine ring at the new (better) frequency : 500.067MHz (corresponding to a change of -183kHz)
or 33.3378MHz in fondamental frequency (corresponding to a change of -12.2kHz)
the power supply of FP-cavity photodiodes was OFF maybe due to some electrons losses.
we had to switch it OFF and ON to restart it.
the computer was restarted and we had to restart the applications and set their parameters.
in attachement, the parameters of the Kangoo software.
we had several "warnings" from the laser amplifier software => the amplifier stopped
but maybe it's because of the electrons not sent in the dump which pertubate the monitoring signal levels of the amplifier => to be confirmed
we had to do some alignment.
with 33% of amplifier ratio, we had 49kW inside the FP-cavity.
we tried to move a bit the L-shape mirror but without any significant effect to improve the intra-cavity power.
we didn't start the laser and FP cavities length increase procedure.
surprinsingly, the beating frequency between laser cavity and 33.3378MHz is only 140Hz and not 12kHz as expected.... to be investigated
