GOALs of this month

  • 1. to stabilize the PSL by taking the green beat note signal and actuating the MC length while assuming the X arm is a stable reference

  • 2. to measure the stability of the beat note and to compare it with that of the IR PDH signal

  • => above two actions finally answer the question : the green locking is stable enough to hand off the control servo to IR or not ?
