NLG Increased, more SQZ!

After looking at yesterday's SQZ and AntiSQZ levels, i thought we might be able to get a bit more SQZ by turning up the NLG. I turned it up to around 10 and we're seeing around 4.35dB of SQZ and around 11dB of AntiSQZ (A bit lower than I excepted given the NLG, I'll have to look at characterizing the OPO again). I'm attaching a plot comparing today's and yesterday's squeezing levels. The results are very promising and this is one of the best quality squeezing spectra ever seen by LHO. Given that the squeezing looks pretty flat, we must be aligned well to the IFO. Taking care of any remaining mismatch between the IFO and OMC will help us get even more squeezing. 

I've added some model spectra curves for comparison
