  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.

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.
