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 LO, Seed and FCV power inside the power distribution hub (LO power is to be mesured between the 2 mirrors of the periscope for the fiber injection).
  • If the MZ wasn’t in use, then power on the HV amplifier, launch the MZ process and unblock the MZ arm.
  • Check the contrast of the MZ (Taking the mean value of max and min due to the slow modulation).
  • Check the locking of the MZ.
  • If the MZ is not needed for current works, stop the process, switch off the associated HV amplifier and reblock the MZ arm.
  • 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 (N.B : you need to remove the 2 first density in the MCL path on in-air table to align it).
  • Check the Pump TEM00 peak depth (Be careful of the baseline).
  • Check Seed TEM00 peak value on the HD add channel.
  • Check the MCL power on HD add channel (Be careful of the baseline).
  • Check the LO power on SERV18_0 and SERV18_1.
  • Check the power from SHG1 and SHG2 into the PLL IR photodiode.
  • 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.
