We measured loss of each optics between OPO and homodyne BS. We put BAB on resonance of OPO by hand and measured power. The result is as follows.
position | power (uW) |
after OPO | 231 |
after dichroic mirror | 222 |
after 100mm lens | 220 |
after PBS | 219 |
after 3 mirrors | 219 |
after 150mm lens | 216 |
after HWP | 215 |
before homodyne BS | 215 |
Loss between OPO and homodyne is 7%. 4% is from dichroic mirror and 3% is from two lenses. According to spec of dichroic mirror (HBSY11), reflectivity for s pol should be 99.3%. We can try to optimize the angle or try another HBSY11. Anyway we need low loss dichroic mirror and superpolished lenses.
