I replaced the JDSU-Uniphase 1125P by 1103P He/Ne laser. This new laser had 2.8 mW output yesterday. It degraded to 0.5 mW by this morning.
The beam size on the QPD is ~3 mm This should give us better sensitivity. These are not the perfect lenses at all, but we have them here.
On the other hand, there are still some coherence below 1 Hz, so the laser intensity noise or clipping dominating this part of the spectrum.
