  306   Mon Dec 11 17:21:32 2023 Ronic ChicheFixedissuemechanics | lasers and optics | detectors and electronicsThomX iglooTemperature control of the FP-cavity lengthtoday with Fatematuj, we did a long-term
frequency drift measurement between the FP-cavity
loaded with 50kW and the RF reference frequency...
