OPAs are very sensitive to changes in upstream lasers and lab conditions, so OPA tuning is
regularly required. %
Manual OPA tuning can easily take a full day. %
+Furthermore, manual tuning typically results in inferior tuning curves, since it is difficult to
+consider all available information simultaneously. %
Automated OPA tuning makes OPA upkeep easier, faster and more reproducible, facilitating frequency
domain experiments. %
