Jared lab notebook: Difference between revisions

Need to get FORT 1 laser to one polarization. Alignment affects polarization, looks like most of the light is vertically polarized. 20.219 amps give me 20 Watts in vertical direction. ~20 Watts is max for the AOM. Put in a wave plate to change to horizontally polarized so it would go through the beam cube. Still get good efficiency through beam cube, 45% to 50% at high powers.
