- | ====== Ring-down Box ====== | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Application of the ring-down box ===== | ||
- | You can measure the finesse of a resonator with the ring-down box **without** locking the resonator! | ||
- | ==== Advantages ==== | ||
- | - super fast (see characterization) | ||
- | - without locking the resonator | ||
- | |||
- | {{ : | ||
- | ==== Measurement Method ==== | ||
- | ==== Evaluation ==== | ||
- | Use this formula to analyse the datapoints: | ||
- | |||
- | Afterwards calculate the finesse with F=2pi*t*FSR with FSR:=free spectral range. | ||
- | |||
- | ===== Electronic setup ===== | ||
- | * max. Input PD-voltage: +5V or -5V | ||
- | * Output TTL (Name: inv. Q): 5V | ||
- | * Power voltage: +/-15 or +/-18V (max.) | ||
- | |||
- | * Switch A: //unten = Eingang invertierend, | ||
- | * Switch B: //unten = Ringdown Messung, oben = dauer-reset// | ||
