Over the weekend we believe we had some grounding issues between the sCMOS camera and the FPGA units we are using, this was causing the camera to glitch and stop communicating every 5-10s. Today we made some electronics to isolate the camera from the rest of the electronics and now it has been running again for several hours with out any issues.

We installed the camera on to ISCT1 with the rest of the setup this afternoon. With PRMI locked, we set the phase camera to image the carrier field and the attached is one of the first images we got. The image attached shows the wavefront of the carrier relative to the reference field. The circular features are because the reference and carrier have a different beam shape. The second image shows us the product of the amplitude and reference amplitudes.

Next we'll work on imaging the other sidebands in an automated way
