Something in SQZ Oscillating at 14kHz

Sheila, Matt, Daniel, Camilla.

We went to the SQZ racks to check the loops, all (LO, OPO, CLF) looked stable, the OPO looked peaky but stable. Once we opened beamdiv and were squeezing there was the large oscillation in ndscopes which SR785 showed to be at 14kHz.

Issues seen:

We think it could be FSS or PMC or laser going multi mode. Can see EOMRMSMON gets worse when this noise appears. Will continue to investigate tomorrow.

Tagging OpsInfo, if you see this oscillation i.e. SQZ is injected but DARM looks terrible like NO SQZ, try taking SQZ out and in again, if this doesn't help, go to Observing with NO SQZ tonight, using Ryan's wiki Instructions.

1st photo, CLF OLG

2nd photo, LO OLG

3rd photo, OPO OLG

4th photo, spectrum of LO loop I Mon.  We also looked at OPO and SHG demod spectra and saw 14kHz in those as well.
