Photo diode x4, Power meter x1
Detector (photo diode) Laser pulse power is detected with photo diodes and oscilloscope.
start-up First, fiber amplifier drifts Fiber amp. Disk amp.1 Disk amp.2 Disk amp.3 Laser is stabled gradually
Sometimes fiber amplifier drifts Disk amplifier is damaged
Recently, 1 or 2 days stabilization was achieved.
Fix Disk amplifier is damaged BPM error Recent operation log We achieved two days stable operation. (0.7 +/-0.3 nC) BBO Fundamental laser power Beam charge
Still long term drift occur. We will increase detection points. Develop power feed back systems. Pointing stability detector is also developing with quadrant sensor.
