TUPRI107 | Compact MTCA.4 Based Laser Synchronization | 1823 |
|
||
In this paper we present a compact and efficient approach for laser synchronization based on MTCA.4 platform. Laser pulses are converted to the RF signals using a photo-diode detector. The RF section performs filtering, amplification and down-conversion of a narrowband, CW signal. The resulting IF signal is sampled by a high resolution digitizer on the AMC (Advanced Mezzanine Card) side and transported via point-to-point links to an adjacent AMC board. The processing electronics on this board drives a digital-to-analog converter on the rear-side. The analog signal is then filtered and amplified by a high voltage power amplifier which drives the piezo stretcher in the laser. Some preliminary results of laser to RF locking with such a scheme are presented. | ||

THPRO105 | MTCA.4 Module for Cavity and Laser Piezo Operation | 3140 |
|
||
A MicroTCA.4 (MTCA.4) compliant Piezo Driver (DRTM-PZT4)* has been developed to drive piezoelectric-based actuators used in accelerator instrumentation applications. More specifically, it is used for superconducting cavities fine tuning, synchronization of pulsed lasers and stabilization of fiber links. This paper briefly presents the designed system requirements and discusses the main hardware issues. The Piezo Driver performance measurements are also discussed. The first results of the prototype hardware usage for laser locking** to an external RF source and fiber link stabilization are summarized.
