with 30% laser amplifier ratio (16W) during
almost all the day (from 10am to 4pm)

cable around the output flange (close to
the X-hutch) of the FP-cavity vessel.
  
  295   Tue Nov 28 19:01:19 2023 Ronic ChicheFixedinfomechanics | lasers and optics | detectors and electronicsThomX iglooLong term lock of Laser-FP cavity-RF referencetoday for the first time, we were able
to make a long term lock of all the elements
(Laser on FP cavity and FP-cavity on RF reference)
  
  297   Wed Nov 29 12:20:18 2023 Ronic ChicheFixedissuemechanics | lasers and optics | detectors and electronicsThomX iglooTemperature control of the FP-cavity lengthtoday, I removed one of the DC voltage
supply (as with 30V, we are already able
to 30°C on the heating cable).

  304   Thu Dec 7 14:59:02 2023 Ronic ChicheFixedissuemechanics | lasers and optics | detectors and electronicsThomX iglooTemperature control of the FP-cavity lengthon last tuesday, I did a long-term measurement
of the frequency drift when the heating cable
is powered ON at 20V (2x 10V) @ t=0mn.

frequency drift measurement between the FP-cavity
loaded with 50kW and the RF reference frequency...
