after doing some alignment (walking procedure on the Y axis), and CEP optimization, I got 83kW for 33% on the laser amplifier with a coupling of ~60%
=> we have to check the input power after the amplifier.
I adjusted the FP and laser cavity motors to have a small 33MHz detuning with the RF reference (~10 Hz of beating @ 33MHz)
pb : I don't see the 500MHz beating signal => to be checked
during the motion of the FP-cavity motors, I observed a systematic delock when moving MOT.06 on P1z and no delock with MOT.03 on P4z when I move by 10 steps.
Kevin checked that both IcePap controller have the same configuration and then, the problem is maybe coming from the rust observed on the mechanic.

we had to move the laser cavity motor to find the resonances and change a lot the CEP.
the CEP motor is at -524.1µm
we got ~75kW in the FP cavity without alignment but with CEP optimization.
the coupling (the cyan color) is ~ 62% !
=> we need to do some alignment

I refilled the chiller and the stabilized temperature is @ 25°C
we started the 3rd stage of the Alphanov amplifier at 30% => PD_OUT is fluctuating around 1-1.4W => it's not related to the real output power !
the photodiode connected to the scope CH2 is around 210mV @ 50ohms
we clearly see some small peak on the transmission signal (scope CH1) => we need to optimize the laser cavity length and the CEP

temperature in the casemate ~ 19.5°C stable
this morning, I measured the power directly at the output of the fiber coupler (through the output fiber), after the strecher : ~5mW
then, I connected the EOM used for the PDH technic : ~2.5mW
then, I connected the fiber of the EOM to the Alphanov amplifier input fiber.
LAL Alphnov software :
PD_IN = 3.289mW
PD_PULSE = 33.372MHz
=> nothing to do ! :-)))
I switched ON the preamplifier (3rd stage @ 0%) => PD_Preamp2 = 152.44mW
