Improvement of mode matching

[Aritomi, Yuhang]

Current mode matching is as follows. Mode matching is around 90%. TEM00 is fluctuating a lot due to alignment drift of suspended mirrors and it's difficult to improve the alignment without auto alignment.

Mode AOM frequency (MHz) IR transmission
TEM00 109.03593 2400
HG10 109.43126 180
HG01 109.43207 250
IG02 109.82923 115
offset   94

Then we checked IR reflection and it was cutted. We measured BAB reflection from filter cavity when BAB is on/off resonance.

Injection: 386uW
Reflection: 170uW (on resonance)
Reflection: 296uW (off resonance)

Reflectivity when BAB is on/off resonance is 44% and 77%. "real" cavity reflectivity which is ratio of these reflectivity is 57% and this is too low compared with ~80% in paper we published last year.
