at ~23kW, 46kW, 66kW with different PID parameters
which seems better.

measurement in transmission of the FP cavity
beam.

bad (maybe the worst ever seen), with a lot
of high frequency noise.

was the origin of this noise : some road

Daniele to try to correlate the road traffic
in front of the Igloo with the lock losses
  
  460   Tue Oct 28 17:31:47 2025 Ronic ChicheFixedissuelasers and optics | detectors and electronicsThomX iglooHigh frequency noisewe did some tests with Marie to make some
vibrations on the door.

is more and more unstable and the lock duration
was sometime less than 20-30 seconds !

so many locking issues... exactly
in the same way than before. :-(

probe (1:1000) on the AC-line to see if one
could detect a correlation between lock losses
