squeezer green ISS oscillation over the weekend

Yesterday during Niko's shift the squeezer caused some range drops: 54855

The attached trends suggest that there could be a problem with the green intensity stabilization.  The SHG power and PZT drive signals (middle row in the attachment) do not seem to have any behavoir changes associated with the range drops.  The green ISS attempts to keeo the OPO_TRANS channel stablized, you can see that this is oscillating at the times of the range drops, and that the power launched into the green fiber is increased.  (SHG-LAUNCH_DC).  

One explanation for this new behavoir could be that I increased the power to the squeezer on Thursday, 54822.  This was done using the picomotor, so that the ISS control signal isn't any closer to saturation than it was before the change.  I can go to the floor to measure the OLG of this loop in the maintence window tomorow, or earlier if we have an oppurtunity or if the behavoir gets worse.
