*Wed-temp was wacked up, did some reading on spectral hole burning.
*Thur-Got back to the crystal. Spent a ton of time trying to get the laser int he exact right spot. The mode-hop-free tuning range is about the same size as the feature we want to see so it doesn't work very well for scanning, as you have to get it int he exact right spot and what you're looking for also has to be in the middle of the scan range. Remarkably, it cooperated for a little while. We were able to slowly ramp the laser piezo and lock the SHG cavity to the moving laser. This lets us scan the whole inhomogeneous linewidth and observe a burned feature 40MHz wide in the overall inhomogeneous linewidth. Needs to be improved if we are going get decent data, but we were able to see something!
*Fri- step back to document, try and digest what we've been looking at,

Note: the laser mode-hopping doesn't appear to cause a problem for the fiber amp, this is good news!
