Prometheus Laser Profile
Beam is highly elliptic, circularization is
needed Before

Mode-Matching
  • laser mode (beam) should match
  • the cavity resonator mode
  • beam waist at the center should
  • match the natural waist of the cavity

OptoCad
FORTRAN90 program for tracing Gaussian
beams computes the parameters of the optical
system

Pound-Drever-Hall (PDH) Locking Scheme
Detect phase of the resonance from reflected

Cavity Locking
Reflection Transmission
2 sec level lock, only with fast PZT feedback,
but unacceptable due to large fluctuations
Reflection Error Signal Transmission
reworked electronics, 40 msec level short lock
with fast PZT feedback only Feedback loop
tuning in progress
15
Conclusions
  • Prometheus Laser has been reprofiled
  • Mode matching of LGR mirror has been accomplished
  • Complete ray tracing of the system by OptoCad is
    in development
  • Cavity feedback loop tuning in progress
  • Short duration lock has been achieved
