- We moved ISCT6 4 inches towards the beamsplitter in order to get the OMC trans beam onto the table (it was hitting the panel separator as mentioned in this log). Keita cut a larger hole in the wall panel and we attached the viewport to the table with a metalic bellows..
- This required us to realign the table, including moving the periscopes.
- Attached is a photo of two post-docs hard at work.
Also, with this table repositioning, we became able to monitor the OMC transmission through the GigE digital camera.
To get the OMC trans, we newly installed two 2" mirrors on the rightmost periscope and steered the beam onto the camera. Since the beam was relatively too big for the camera, we then installed a PLCX-50.8 to let the beam converge. The lens stands between the bottom periscope mirror and the camera. However, currently, the camera is not exactly at the focal point as there was a mode-master setup which prevented us from backing the camera further to the focal point.
Feel free to move (or remove) the ModeMaster setup -- this will need to be rearranged in any event, no need to keep it in place if it's a problem.
