PSL 10-Day Trends

FAMIS 31115

This week's check serves as a comparison on how things in the PSL came back after the long power outage last Thursday. Overall, things look good, with the exception that alignment is certainly needed into the PMC and RefCav (not surprising after the laser goes down), but we're waiting on full picomotor functionality to be restored before doing that. As is, alignment is fine enough for now.

One can see that after the system was recovered Thursday afternoon, for about a day, the environmental controls for the enclosure were in a weird state (see Jason's alog) which caused oscillations in amplifier pump diode currents and thus output power from AMP2. This has been fixed and behavior appears to be back to normal.

Additionally, the differential pressure sensor between the anteroom and laser room seems to have been fixed by the outage. Hooray.
