Need to do standing wave closer to resonance to ensure that we're better in the dark state. This will match simulations better.
 
I checked the beam sizes, The probe is 1650X1500um +- 50 um Both coupling beams are about 1600X 1600 +- 50 um.

I keep seeing some asymmetric stuff with the standing wave depending on which way I move the standing wave. We're moving the probe beam to be perpendicular to the coupling beams. We'll need to change the polarizations to so they are perpendicular to each other and the B field which defines our z axis.
 
 
We used to use vertically polarized coupling beams and horizontally polarized probe beam, now we'll be using vertically probe and horizonatll coupling.

I've been trying to get narrower data, but no luck. I checked the beam sizes and they were all around 1700x1700 um. easily + or - 50 um though. I will got through the data I have and put some of it together to try and put together the paper.
 
I used 10 Amps on the coils for optical pumping, and I have proof that this does pump atoms into the m=0 level.

I'm trying to make some figures in Matlab for the paper, if you go into more properties when having the figure open with "plot tools" you can manually set the size of the figure through PlotBoxAspectRatio. Useful for getting all graphs to be the same for the paper.
