I need close to 17 mW of seed power for the 2nd FORT beam to work at 2 Watts. Although this is is in the range of acceptable powers for this TA I still want to contact M2K lasers and make sure the Intensity is not too high. I can only get about 40% through the AOM when powering it with 2 Watts. I get around 33% out of the fiber at higher power (~600 mW). I get over 200 mW from the output of the fiber.
Need two AWG outputs for evaporative cooling of both FORT lasers. For the FPGA, FORT on/of Channel 14, is a final switch to the FORT 1 amplifier, and turns it on or off. The first switch to the FORT 1 amplifier is controlled by channel 10, FORT AWG. It triggers the AWG used for evaporative cooling and also allows the RF from the AWG to go to the amplifier.
