The photodiode used to get the RF signal from the oscillator is connected to the timing system through a narrow bandpass filter. The photodiode voltage will not show up on the control panel unless the oscillator cavity length is close to correct. When locking, manually adjust the cavity length using the stepper motor to get the frequency within 50Hz, then check that the voltage of the photodiode.
Timing laser and e-beam at IP
There are several methods and locations in sector20 at which synchronous time of arrival between e-beam and laser can be measured.
