Swapped out the diode laser for the new one, it seems to be working well. Is much more efficient, 50mA of current provides more output power than 180mA to the previous laser. Lock seems to be working well as well, but it's hard to tell if that's the laser or just that there's a little more power going to the cavity.
Question: so if the laser drops lock will that mess up the amplifier? ▼
Hooked up and seeded the fiber amplifier, with it quite in the lab, the laser and amp stayed locked for an hour no problem. Output power seemed basically constant, to within a percent or or ability to measure.
Probably should put a pick-off in the system for the wavemeter/spectrum analyzer. ▼
▲Question: so if the laser drops lock will that mess up the amplifier? -checked this, if the lock drops, the seed is still there, just not locked so we're ok.
