13Hz Ring-up after CO2 step

M. Todd, R. Crouch, E. Capote, S. Dwyer


After 5 minutes or so from stepping the CO2 lasers from 1.7W to 0.9W, we began to see the 13Hz ring-up again before losing lock.

We believe this to be PRCL losing gain because of the change in the CO2s. I'm also wondering if the CO2s may be miscentered and causing some roll modes via differential heating of the fibers -- the frequenices do not exactly match up I think but need to check on this.
