  503   Tue Mar 7 23:00:16 2023 Thejas OpticsCharacterizationOMC Lab clean upToday, Koji and I cleaned up the the lab
space and made some space on the
optical table for radius of curvature measurement

Today, a more rigorous effort was
made to re-measure the position of the optics

Yesterday, we placed an iris (borrowed
from OMC Lab) infront of the spherical transmission

  508   Tue Mar 14 12:12:41 2023 Koji OpticsCharacterizationA+ OMC curved mirror characterizationRoC: 2.65m ! Interesting. I'll wait
for the follow-up analysis/measurements.
The RoC may be dependent on the area (diameter)
  
  509   Tue Mar 14 18:24:03 2023 Thejas OpticsCharacterizationA+ OMC Curved mirror radius of curvatureToday, I tried to measure the radius of
curvature of the curved mirror using the
input beam for the OMC test set-up. It was

  510   Tue Mar 14 20:06:03 2023 Koji OpticsCharacterizationA+ OMC Curved mirror radius of curvatureIf the mirror has the RoC, it works as
a lens. And you should be able to see the
effect in the beam profile.
  
  511   Wed Mar 15 15:28:24 2023 Thejas OpticsCharacterizationA+ OMC Curved mirror radius of curvatureThanks for teh comment Koji. Yes, I did
see this effect by comparing the beam sizes
with and without the curved mirror. But the
  
  512   Wed Mar 15 17:07:35 2023 Koji OpticsCharacterizationA+ OMC Curved mirror radius of curvatureI hope you can find useful lenses from
the lens kit in the cabinet. If you need
more lenses and mounts, talk to our students
  
  513   Fri Mar 17 15:01:21 2023 Koji OpticsCharacterizationA+ OMC Curved mirror radius of curvatureThanks Koji, the lenses available in the
cabinet in the lab actually sufficed.
