HAM 6 alignment

(Koji, Dan, Alexa)

We first centered the beam on SR2 by adjusting SR3. We looked into HAM4 using the analog camera and we centered the beam around the aperature in front of SR2:

(SR3 original position: P 500 Y -150)

BOTTOM: P 513 Y -100

TOP: P 428 Y -100

RIGHT: P 464 Y -138

LEFT: P 464 Y -98

 

FINAL SR3: P 464 Y -118

 

Next, we adjusted SR2 to center the beam onto SRM/FI via the analog camera looking into HAM5:

BOTTOM: P 4154 Y 1770

TOP: P 599 Y 1770

LEFT: P 2376 Y 3420

RIGHT: P 2376 Y -100

 

FINAL SR2: P 2376, Y 1660

 

To fine tune SR2, we examined the beam in HAM6 and found the positions when the beam disppeared:

Dark  in pitch:

P 2546, Y 1660

P 2006, Y 1660

Dark in Yaw:

P 2276, Y 2061

P 2276, Y 1482

 

FINAL SR2: P 2276, Y 1771

 

In this configuration we measured the power in HAM6 to be 2.6mW with ~1600mW at the PSL periscope PD.

If I take this power measurement at face value, I get an overall efficiency of 2.6/4.45 = 58%.

1600 mW * 0.0305 (PRM) * 0.5 (BS) * 0.986 (ITM) * 0.5 (BS) * 0.37 (SRM) = 4.45 mW
