ok, just got back from a visit/vacation in SD. Getting back to business. Nick took the focusing lens out of the system, we can definitely see absorption qualitatively now, very cool, the lower intensity/less susceptibility to motion did the trick. However, the laser is not cooperating. It will not stay stable enough to let us scan through the resonance with the piezo. We have tried tuning up the feedback, collimation, etc, but so far it's not cooperating. very frustrating.

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.
