  114   Wed Jan 19 09:36:53 2022 Manar AmerFixedreportlasers and opticsThomX iglooFP cavity alignment Yesterday, we did the alignment again using
Iris and beam profilers to obtain a more
precise result.

  116   Tue Feb 1 16:40:06 2022 Manar AmerFixedreportlasers and optics | detectors and electronicsThomX iglooFP cavity alignment This afternoon, I did some alignment of
the injection mirrors with a fast scan on
the LaseLock to get a regular transmission
  
  117   Wed Feb 2 11:22:51 2022 Manar AmerFixedreportlasers and optics | detectors and electronicsThomX iglooFP cavity alignment This morning with Manar, we installed the
AOM+RF amplifier and the associated fast
feedback loop.

with a good locking (good reduction of "high"
frequencies noise: we had better locking

the FSR and image of the finesse which is
to be analyzed.

  123   Thu Feb 3 18:40:04 2022 Manar AmerFixedreportlasers and optics | detectors and electronicsThomX iglooFP cavity alignment The fluctuation problem has been solved.
It was simply the new scheme to inject
2 RF frequencies in a single EOM.

is the L-shape metal piece if it is slightly
inserted in the FP-cavity mode path.

mode axis change.

we checked the cavity mode centroid
