  Laser Cooling Experiment 2021, Page 1 of 5  Not logged in ELOG logo
Entry  Tue May 31 07:29:11 2022, Ken, Detectors, XUV-Detektor 
Rate was very low: ~ 100Hz
Adjusted Walk level and Threshold, new rate: 5kHz
Additionally, parameters of the detector were varied for optimization but were returned to default afterwards.
Entry  Mon May 17 21:43:56 2021, Danyal, General, The test beamtime was a success. 
Dear all,

The test beamtime is now over. 
Entry  Mon May 17 08:05:42 2021, Team, General, End of beamtime 
~ 8 a.m.
Entry  Sun May 16 22:11:49 2021, Team, General, Laser Polarisation values 
maximal transmission of PBSC (257/514 pbsc was used in combination with xlp12 detector and visual on a screen):

L/4 @ 276° & L/2 @ 348°                -->   p-polarized light
Entry  Sun May 16 21:23:02 2021, Team, General, ESR OPEN -> preparation for Polarisation Tests 
 
Entry  Sun May 16 11:29:22 2021, Benedikt, General, Automated laser scans working 
The automated laser scans are working now.
We can now scan with the following functions: triangle, sawtooth, cosinus/sinus, arctan, min (linear scan, than stands still)
Entry  Sun May 16 07:18:56 2021, Night Shift Sebastian/Max/Noah, General, Preparation for automated laser scans 
We shut the laser system down to prepare automated laser scans
Entry  Sun May 16 07:03:07 2021, Team, General, Laser cooling with 166ps 
We saw some indications of laser cooling @ 166ps pulse length
Entry  Sun May 16 06:13:46 2021, Team, General, Switch to 166ps  
 
Entry  Sun May 16 05:24:00 2021, Team, General, Laser cooling with 285ps 
we also see laser cooling with 285ps pulse length
Entry  Sun May 16 05:09:27 2021, Team, General, Switch to 285ps 
pulse length -> 285ps

minimum 62mW inside ESR (depending on laser wavelength)
Entry  Sun May 16 05:09:04 2021, Team, General, Laser cooling with 482ps 
we see laser cooling with 482ps pulse length
Entry  Sun May 16 02:28:21 2021, Team, General, #Beam ON! 
Laser specs:
pulse length -> 482ps
Entry  Sun May 16 02:22:19 2021, Sebastian, General, "Der Laser ist ok" 
 
Entry  Sun May 16 02:20:58 2021, Sebastian, General, "Der Laser ist (wieder) ok" 
 
Entry  Sun May 16 02:18:53 2021, Sebastian, General, UV Drop 
1:25 a.m. huge drop in UV laser power
-> small crystal bump with both y screws of bbo oven
Entry  Sat May 15 12:11:54 2021, Benedikt, General, Laser-bunch-timing 
Optimizing the laser bunch timing.
h = 7 (9.0389145 MHz)
Reprate is already set to same frequency.
Entry  Sat May 15 11:26:44 2021, Benedikt, General, TEM parameters 
We changed the horizontal position of the laser beam a bit, so that we maximized the fluorescence signal on the XUV detector (coasting beam, scanning laser
(0.03 Hz)).
