Offloaded TTFSS crystal frequency to laser controller temperature knobs on ALS and SQZ lasers

Daniel, Vicky. We offloaded the TTFSS crystal frequency offsets of ~1.5 GHz to the temperature knobs on the laser controllers again, following the final successful swap to the O1 laser last week lho81426.

The initial to final laser crystal temperature we set on the knobs:

Recap of process:

  1. Noted the laser temp when TTFSS was running to lock laser to new PSL frequency. This is the "target" temperature we want to offload to knobs.
  2. Turned off TTFSS and set crystal frequency to 0 MHz.
  3. Note the initial laser temp. Move laser crystal temperature knob to the "target" temperature.
  4. Relock TTFSS and check for mode-hopping.

From start (Sept 2024) to end (Nov 2024) of laser swapping saga:
