 Title: Powerup with 2.5ps pulses 

A power up has been performed on ThomX until 65kW intracavity power. We didn't see any modes but stored power was really unstable since ~60kW (see image tek00004.png).

Measurement report is shown in the table below. Gain seems to decrease against intracavity power.

As a conclusion, pulse length compression does not seems to bring any trouble in the PDH loop. But at relatively high intracavity power, power start to be really unstable even if we did not see any mode.
We can notice that we tried to align, change CEP but it had no important impact on the quality of the lock. See further experiments with Ronic and D-shape.
