'''<big>7/24/15</big>'''
After many months of seemingly doing nothing we are maybe on the cusp of seeing some original science. We can get up to 40 mW of green power at the crystal and can see the fluorescence using a photodiode and the the SRS current amplifier. If we flash a pulse ~1 us long we can detect the fluorescence and hopefully build up a rabi frequency sine wave. There is a large 60 Hz noise that averages out but there is a 300 Hz noise that we will need to figure out the source of and eliminate before we get any reliable data. We are also in the process of setting up another AOM so we can have a probe beam that is completely independent of the Rabi beam. Previously we used a pick off from the Rabi beam for the probe beam which would mean the probe would have to be on at the same time.
