Today we moved some of the optics away from the blue box to make room for the mode matching.
We also found a 1" diameter optic in one of the cabinets with a transmission of 0.81 % (S-pol). This makes a nice match with the 0.57% transmission of the 2" diameter output coupler and so its now installed. We'll later replace it with a good 2" diameter mirror.
We also moved all of the optics after the laser to align with the screw holes and are trying to make the beams go along the screw hole lines.
Alastair has remeasured the laser beam profile after the EOM and the PBSs using the WinCamD beam scanner. Results are being produced. |
