power @ 30% for the amp => it is 16W in
agreement with the previously measured values

in reflexion of the cavity, that its voltage
level stops increasing after 50% of power

power @ 30% for the amp => we got 40kW
with only 30% of coupling (and a bad lock

cable on the PZT connector of the FP-cavity.
the PZT is connected between pins

cable to the FP-cavity PZT cable (DB9-DB9)
and to the channel B of the Laselock.

is 0-10V, but during the several runs we
did, this voltage is too low to compensate

of the LaseLock : they work properly but
the noise is bigger than the low voltage
