I put the PSL telescope in place, and started coupling to it.
Unfortunately, I was only able to couple about 55 uW into the "fiber coupler" (read: fiber coupled splitter). See picture below:

Additionally, I'm not sure why this is, but both of the splitters we ordered don't split equally, but to 90% and 10% in each output port.
We also found that, since we aren't using the fibers we originally intended to, the specs are a little different, and the waist we're trying to have at the collimator face is now 283 um. |
