I was concerned about some of the spacial features I was seeing after the second broadband EOM. On closer inspection there was a small fleck of what looked like plastic tape in the input aperture (pictured).
Fleck of plastic, now removed
I removed the fleck and it looks all clear now.
Also, I thought maybe the beam was just a the limit of size for one axis. I moved the lens (PLCX-25.4-64.4-UV-1064) forward to z = 1252 mm. The re measured beam had the fitted characteristics:
Horz. beam waist = 194.3474 um
Horz. beam waist position = 1472.415 mm
Vert. beam waist = 140.8421 um
Vert. beam waist position = 1418.9487 mm
