:PROPERTIES: :ID: d7630955-6ca9-4de7-9770-2d50d4847bcd :END: #+title: Fitting Ringdown * Fitting transients - one can solve the equation of motion for when a mode is in the steady state and the laser is suddenly switched. one obtains a decaying oscillation which can be fitted to the data. - this works ok, when the system /was/ in the steady state before the jump - see [[file:scripts/transients_without_amplification.py]] - we obtain \(γ\approx\SI{2.2}{\kilo\hertz}\) but this can vary a lot - the detuning frequency seems to be completely off * Failure of the steady state On the right peak on can see that there might be something fish going on. This is ~data/24_05_24/nice_transient2~. [[file:figures/non_steady.png]] * Weird Oscillations :ATTACH: - when turning on the amp while the laser is running we get some oscillations at \(\sim \SI{40}{\kilo\hertz}\) which is a period of \(\SI{25}{\micro\second}\). this is 500 times roundrip time :(). I thought it might be a wave packet traveling around the loop, i.e multiple modes together... [[attachment:osci_closeup.png][osci_closeup.png]] [[attachment:osci_far.png][osci_far.png]] [[attachment:cleaned.png][cleaned.png]] - it isn't close to the fsr though... - fitting a sine to that gives pretty much the same, as does an fft [[attachment:cleaned_fit.png][cleaned_fit.png]] - it is pretty constant over all steps in [[file:data/09_05_24/Nicely_hybridised_2 2024,05,09, 15h57min00sec/][data]] as can be ascertained from [[file:scripts/weird_oscillations.py][this script]] - these are also present w/o the amp cutout!
