Need to watch the power out of the TA, I think something might be wrong. Today I have 12.8mW input power and 1.41 Out at 3.106 Amps. I thought I was getting more a few days ago. I also think I need a longer focal asphere to better couple to the TA. I have a very short focal length asphere right now.

I'm going to work with the TA_FORT for now. I can get some evidence of standing waves with either FORT laser, but the better data was taken with the TA FORT. I'm going to look more into the statistics of my measurement. This could be a problem that I haven't addressed up to this point. The standing wave hasn't always worked in the past, the one Think that I thought fixed it was a loose mirror, but I was never sure that was the case. The standing wave shouldn't be that hard to get though, once it works, it usually stays working fine for awhile, over a month.
I get a decent signal with the TA FORT with only ~220 mW of power. The beam size could be expanded bigger to make a deeper trap.
