CO2X Beam Scan Started

TJ, Camilla. WP11574

We borrowed the Ophir PH00235 USB MSP-NS-Pyro 9/5 bean scanner from CIT. It has a PH00092 removable 7.5" FL lens on the front and is on a 500mm rail. WE checked the scanner and rail worked in the lab using our Nanoscan laptop and the Nanoscan v1 software. 

On CO2X (layout T1200007) we added three Gold coated steering mirrors just after the power control waveplate. Added a beam block panel on the back of the table. While aligning we kept ther CO2 power requested at 0.1W.  Started aligning the beam to the beamscan but didn't finish before the end of maintenance. 

We left the beanscan and the three mirrors on the table, we moved the mirror that was in the path ("A" on photo) out of the path. Plan to finish aligning and take data next Tuesday. The cables and driver boxes are in a tote labeled "nanoscan" in the TCS cabinet and the laptop is back in the optics lab cabinet.  Photos of table and beampath (nominal lighter red) attached.
