What do you mean by PR2, PR3 flipping? They are (supposed to be) flat mirrors, so obviously they should be installed correctly, but they won't change the mode matching in a huge way if they're backwards, right?
For the PRM, I recommend checking (a) the arrow inscribed on the thinner side of the optic and (b) that the arrow *actually* points to the HR side. I'm pretty sure I installed all the optics with the arrow pointing away from the OSEMs, but I never did a thorough check that the arrow always actually pointed to the HR coated side. I don't remember any optics where I said "hmmm, that's funny, the arrow is pointing backwards", but nor did I write down that I had checked.
Also, hopefully the PRM is correct. If however it's not, that means that all of the magnets are glued onto the HR side, and we'll have to redo all of the magnet gluing. The guiderods should be fine, but all 6 magnets would need redoing. If we were very, very careful and didn't break any of the magnets off of the dumbbells, it's a 24 hour turnaround due to drying time. Since inevitably we break magnets away from dumbbells, conservatively we should think about a 48 hour turnaround. |
