===== Short Term =====
* Modify diode mount for water cooling (almost done, will drill screw holes once water blocks get here)
* Build crystal mount (aluminum part done, ordered copper part from eMachineShop)
* Write Gaussian Beam Mode Matching v3
===== Long Term =====
== Log ==
'''7/2/2015'''
* Wrote some code to back out q values from measured beam parameters. Mode Matching v2 is basically done now - it replicates all of the functionality of David's code and expands it a bit by letting you use it in a "plotting" mode with no mode matching, and by letting you work with any number of lenses.
* Thinking about v3: replace lenses with optical elements as classes, handle the position rail better (maybe a class of it's own?). Basically use classes to generalize and expand what the code can do.
'''7/1/2015'''
* Continued working on Mode Matching v2.
* Heard back from ATF on mirror quote. Order is too small and specialized for them to do...
'''6/30/2015'''
* Wrote v2 of the mode matching program from scratch with some new ideas. Worked great on the first try!
'''6/29/2015'''
* A bit downtime for the next week and a half while the student shop is closed. Decided to write a program to do mode matching. Wrote v1 today, and it was awful and didn't work at all.
* Ordered the copper part of the crystal mount from eMachineShop. ETA ~3 weeks.▼
'''6/25/2015'''
* Got quote back from ECI - $13000! Way too expensive. Asked them to redo quote without the backs AR-coated to see what that's like. Sent quote request to [http://www.lambda.cc/ Lambda].
