Recap of last 2 weeks:
Spent a lot of time last week building parts for our reference cavity. Learned about Autocad as well as how to hold things from the center on the lathe and how to use the boring tool on the milling machine for making large circles/portions of circles. Interesting, but took longer than i would have hoped.
We're finally starting to see some effects in the crystal. Observed absorption. Just now starting to hopefully see evidence of spectral hole burning. See notes:

Recap of the last few days. I ordered a bunch of stuff: some 4W RF amplifiers for higher power SiO2 based AOMs, an 80MHz AOM, an 85MHz high-power surplus AOM similar to what we already have picked up, a 210MHz AOM for our pump beam, some 1055nm specific laser diodes, lots of gear. Have built some misc stuff in the last few days: a box for storing the PCFs, am helping get Eric started with that stuff. A mount to adapt an AOM to a mirror mount. A plexi box to protect the output fiber of the fiber amplifier.
