Holy cow can't believe it's been a couple weeks since i've updated my log. A few things have happened:
* DAMOP. Great having it in Madison, got to see some old friends including Herman Batelaan and Jeff Sherman whom i hadn't seen since Seattle. Sort of surprising to me that i basically saw no other work using doped crystals, however made a good contact with Morgan Hedges. He worked under Matthew Sellers on some rare-earth doped crystal stuff. Been in touch with them and currently looking at some of their papers. I think this could be some very good folks to know int he field, folks who have some experience with these crystals that we're just starting to experiment with.
* received the lockbox PCB from advanced circuits and wired it up, this took much of last week. seems to be working ok, although we're planning to change the piezo and box the SHG cavity to hopefully get more stable performance.
* received the 1055 fiber amp from Nufern for the green laser, started setting it up.
* just today i finished my documentation for the circuit and for building circuit boards, will post on the wiki.
