  74   Fri Oct 11 18:42:32 2019 Ronic ChicheFixedissuelasers and optics | detectors and electronicsOptical roomFirst Lock with 2nd satge of amplifier : Finesse issue ?First of all, we used and optical spectrometer
to determine which proportion of pump and
signal is in the injected beam.

disable the "power save" mode of
the smaract translation stage. AND turn OFF
