Last Week:

-I continued to struggle with the razorblade beam analysis, though after a sixth round of measurements, and a lot of fiddling around with fit parameters in matlab, there seems to be a light at the end of the tunnel.

Next Week:

-I plan to check my work with the beamscan tomorrow (wednesday) morning

-Further characterize the light from the fibers, and set up the collimator

-Design and hopefully construct the telescope that will focus the beam into the collimator

Materials:

- Razorblade setup or beamscan (preferably beamscan)

- Fiber Illuminator

- Collimator (soon to be ordered)

- Lenses for telescope (TBD)
