Continuing from our plumbing escapades (alog75715 ) Jason and I confirmed there were no table leaks overnight and then fired up the freshly refurbished CO2X laser. Using our Thorlabs powermeter we saw 53W coming out, nice. The alignment was pretty far off in yaw though, so we had to do more alignment than last time we swapped the CO2Y laser (alog65393). We eventually got the beam to line up well on the irises and then had to translate the anular mask a small amount to match the main beam.

More details and pictures to come.
