* Hook up water chiller to diode mount (once it arrives...)
* Modify diode mount for water cooling (almost done, will drill screw holes next Monday)
* Build crystal mount (have both parts now)
* Make TEC controller wire for crystal TEC

* Started digging into SESAMs. Got OK to buy a SESAM (centered on 800 nm), but I sent an email to the diode pumping paper people to see how they sourced their broadband SESAM. They're in England, so it may take a day or two to get a reply.
* Got OK to buy a SESAM (centered on 800 nm).
* Drilled holes for water block on diode mount. Managed to break the tap off in the second hole, rendering it totally unusable. Plan is to screw it down using only one hole. Ugh...
* Talk to Deniz and David about how to tune the Ti:sapph - looks like it's done via an aperture between the second prism and the output coupler. Will need to think about what kind of aperture to use (knife-edge?, must be on translation stage to move back and forth). Tunable is a good first step before mode-locking - proof of concept, make sure we can see the output, etc.

* BATOP got back to me - all their products are just stock stuff, apparently, not very open to custom orders. Reflekron's person is on vacation, apparently. Wonderful.
