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 switch to the FORT 1 amplifier, and turns it on or off. The RF in to the amplifier is controlled by the AWG which is triggered from CHannel 10, FORT AWG. OFF means the AWG is triggered.
