Measurements of the Brazed Assembly
The assembly was brazed and the feedthroughs were fitted with dowel pins and vacuum seals. The following measurements were then made.
Position Cavity
Measurement results
The internal quality factor is therefore 292.
Comparison
Reference Cavity
The internal quality factor is therefore 357.

Temperature Stability of both Cavities
Both cavities were left over one weekend. The resonant frequencies were measured from the peak in the transmission spectra. The sensitivity to temperature seems to be greater for the brazed cavity. This may be attributable to the vacuum sealed feedthroughs. The stability in the frequency difference between the two cavities is 50 kHz/
oC.
