'''<big>5/8/15</big>'''
We finally got the ULE cavity back two days ago and it is pumping down right now. Hopefully we can just replace the invar cavity we have been using and it will work right away.
All the electronics can be controlled by Matlab now, so once the alignment is done and the laser is working at the right wavelength, we should be able to do most things by just writing a program.
When the seasons change and the humidity changes it really messes up our laser. I want to try to some how seal the laser box and pressurize it with dry air so the humidity doesn't effect it as much. I talked to some people in Saffman's lab about this and they said in the past they have just used a small pump from a fish tank and a tube with desiccant (like [https://secure.drierite.com/catalog3/page7.cfm these]) to pressurize the laser and it worked pretty well.
