CALVA Health check-up process

CALVA Health check-up process

Here we will give the general process for the weekly health check-up for CALVA experiment.

The results should be noted inside the corresponding excel file available inside the in2p3 box.

  • First check the temperature inside both cleanroom.
  • Check if SHG2 temperature is locked. If not, correct it and then lock it.
  • Check if SHG1 and SHG2 are locked, then put them in « scan mode ».
  • See that the VPM respond to the « scan mode » command and also note the TolmFrameBuilder latency value.
  • If the alignment is deemed insufficient, then correct it.
  • Note the value of the TEM00 peak for both SHGs.
  • Re-lock SHG1 and SHG2.
  • Check Pump power at the entry of the MZ.
  • Check FCC power behind the 1st mirror after the dichroic.
  • Check the contrast of the MZ.
  • Check the locking of the MZ.
  • Check the LO, Seed and FCV power inside the power distribution hub
  • Check if OPO temperature is locked. If not, correct it and then lock it.
  • If the OPO need re-alignment, proceed before taking the value measurement.
  • Check the Pump TEM00 peak depth (Be careful of the baseline).
  • Check Seed TEM00 peak value on the HD add channel.
  • If OPO re-alignment has been done, note the value of the MCL TEM00 peak. To align and mesure the MCL, the 2 first density on the in-air table should be removed and a photodiode should be place in transmission of the OPO (For the sake of having a reference, use a PDA10CS-EC with 50 gain).
  • Check the MCL power on HD add channel.
  • Check the LO power on SERV18_0 and SERV18_1.
  • Check the PLL IR beating value.
  • Send 50mW of Pump toward the OPO and check the PLL green beating value.
  • Check the locking of the PLL, on IR and then on green.
