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.
below, I exhibit some pictures of

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. :-(

  463   Mon Dec 8 11:17:17 2025 Ronic ChicheFixedissuelasers and optics | detectors and electronicsThomX iglooHigh frequency noiseThis morning, I installed a high-voltage
probe (1:1000) on the AC-line to see if one
could detect a correlation between lock losses

the telescope to avoid any high power (50W
instead of 17W usually) issue in the injection

power by just increasing the amplifier ratio
from 35% to 70%.

we checked the distance of the

  468   Wed Apr 29 15:31:06 2026 Ronic ChicheUnder Processreportlasers and opticsThomX iglooIncreasing the FP-cavity power I installed a stronger optical filter on
the reflection photodiode and loaded it on
1kOhms.

ratio to 33% => 97kW

then, we set the amplifier ratio

realignement on the 2nd CVBG of the compressor
: the beam shape seems better, now.

about the spots on ThomX mirrors which should
be clean. As mentionned in "SBOX commissioning",
