NAOJ GW Elog Logbook 3.2
Yesterday, I measured the beam profile, and the beam had its waist around 1250mm distance from FI with ~60um beam radius.
Then I adjusted the beam height to achieve ''straight'' beam.
Next, I scaned the laser freq. using both temp. control and PZT of the laser.
During scanning the freq., I monitored both transmitted beam, and reflected beam.
I could see some dips in reflection, though I could not see any transmitted beam.
I have not checked the error signal yet, it may be possible to lock the laser, but it seemes difficult to see transmitted beam.
By rough estimation, the reflected power dropped ~0.3mW, though I could not see any transmitted flash.
The reflected beam power was ~3mW with 3.5V.
The dip was ~0.4V.
3mW * 0.4V / 3.5V ~ 0.3mW
The loss and high reflectivity may cause too small transmitted power.
