Laserdiode
- Temperature Laserdiode:
- <fc #ff0000>XX</fc> [2018]
- Typical Current Laserdiode:
- 96 mA [2018]
Tapered Amplifier
- Temperature TA:
- <fc #ff0000>XX</fc> [2018]
- Typical Current TA:
- <fc #ff0000>96</fc> mA [2018]
Turning on the Laser
We use toptica electronics:
- Turning the main-key to on. The LED´s from the temperature control will go on!
- Push the green button. The green LED from the button will go on!
- Switch on the toggle (=Kippschalter) from the laserdiode. The green LED from the laserdiode module will go on!
- Switch on the toggle from the TA, if he is seeded! The green LED from the TA module will go on!
If the switches are on, then not steps 3. & 4.
Turning off the Laser
Both toggles to switch to off(Laserdiode/TA) is not required!
- Push the red button. The green LED will go out!
- Turning the main-key to “mains”
Turning off the Laserdiode
- Switch off the toggle from the TA. The green LED from the TA module will go out!
- Switch off the toggle from the laserdiode. The green LED from the laserdiode module will go out!
Turning off or on only the TA
- Switch off or on the toggle from the TA. The green LED from the TA module will go out or on!
Locking to the resonators
- Put a Paper infront R1! - Check Laserdiodepower after Laserhousing - TA Lock: If the incoupling is good → 1A - after TA: ~200mW - Nessasray lock power: 200mW - Intensity Lock - after Isolator ~120müW - otherwise improve the optical way to the Isolator for more power - mit Output Offset des Intenstitäts-PID auf 100müW herunterdrehen - HENCE: Check always Power after Isolator of R1: not more than 100müW!
- Only aktivate PDH/TA, if the power is 70-100müW after the Isolator of R1
- Tune the Piezo to TEM00
- Lock RAM
- Lock Fiberstabilization
Littmann design
Typical efficiencies at 916 nm:
- Isolators: 80 %
- AOMs: 50-60 %
- Fiber coupling: 50 %
Typical values for the laser:
- Frequency: 327.5293 THz (doubled upstairs directly behind SHG: 655.058 566 THz)
- Power after ECDL:
- ~12 mW (@ ~90 mA) [2016]
- ~<fc #ff0000>XX</fc> mW (@ ~96 mA) [2016]
- Power after TA:
- ~200 mW (@ ~1000 mA) [2016]
- ~<fc #ff0000>XX</fc> mW (@ ~1165 mA) [2018]
- TA current should be <1.2A otherwise the fiber stabilization will soar (=aufschwingen)
Typical values in front fibers:
- Power before fiber for wavemeter/comb/mode analysis cavity:
- ~12 mW [2016]
- ~<fc #ff0000>XX</fc> mW [2018]
- Power before AtomLabFiber:
- ~30 mW → 15 mW upstairs before TA [2016- without fiber stabilization]
- ~<fc #ff0000>XX</fc> mW → 20 mW upstairs before TA [2018]
- Power to R2:
- ~2.5 mW [2016]
- ~<fc #ff0000>XX</fc> mW [2018]
Typical values for the resonators:
- In front of telescope: 2.2 mW
- In front of AOM: 1.5 mW
- In front of fiber: 450 µW
- 100 µW between Isolator and BS
- 50 µW in front of Resonator
Typical values for locking signals:
- PDH error signal locked ~500 mV PP / unlocked ~200 mV PP
- Intensity Error signal ~2 mV PP / DC:
- Fiber Stabilization Locked ~200 mV PP / Unlocked ~2 Volt PP
