[Torrey, Daniel]
We aligned light from the misc category into a fiber on the power distribution sled. Instead of the 5 axis mount, we used a simple 2 axis mirror mount. We also tuned up the alignment into the other 3 fibers to maximize the power. We measured the power going into the fiber and out of the fiber to see if and how it drifts over time. Potentially, the 5 axis mounts will drift more than the 2 axis mount.
Can you say what the "misc category" means? Thank you.
Hey Chris. The power distribution sled was designed to have 4 paths, 3 of the paths being ear marked for the output filter cavity, laser filter cavity, and SHG sleds. This last path is just for miscellaneous needs. Its going into a fiber that can be piped to any point in the room where we might need an extra laser source.
