Yikes; it's been a month since i've added anything to this document. Very disappointing to see what i am currently struggling with is what i was struggling with the last time i made an entry. I am trying to take a crystal absorption scan but cannot get the 1055 seed laser to cooperate. I have tried messing with the collimation as i did last time but so far have been unable to get it to cooperate. Perhaps i just need to fiddle with it more, or perhaps the laser needs to be changed. Arg.
Work has been progressing however. I've been working on a 6 level density matrix simulation, want to simulate what happens in the crystal. Have it up and running and will probably generate and post a report about that pretty soon.
Also, have been helping get Chandler started building a laser and Eric started with the PCF stuff. Things are getting done, but the laser is really being a pain in the butt.

What did we learn today? Well today was a pretty prime example of why i was a bit anxious about building up stuff this late in my grad school run. I spent the day trying to get the 1055 seed laser diode to cooperate. It's capable of doing what we want but has been difficult, i did learn/re-learn a few things:
