PSL reference cavity transmission picked-off and launched into ALS fiber

[Michael Rodruck, Alberto]

Today we finished setting up the optical path to couple the PSL reference cavity tranmsitted beam into the ALS fiber. After we mode matched the beam to the fiber launcher, we aligned it into the fiber by using the OzOptics auxiliary fiber laser.  We coupled 3.0mW into the fiber, out of the 5mW coming from the reference cavity: a 60% matching. It didn't look like this could be imrpoved by much.

Both ALS setups on the PSL table are now almost complete. The only work left to complete is the replacement of the Faraday's mount on the ISCT1 pick-off path: the mount is currently under construction at the machien shop.
