CO2Y and CO2X Beam Scan

TJ, Camilla. WP 11811

Yesterday, we repeated the  76715 CO2 beam scan using a razor blade on a 25mm transition stage while measuring the power transmitted to our PD (channel H1:TCS-ITMX/Y_CO2_LSRPWR_MTR_OUTPUT).

We realized that some of the blocked beam was transmitted through a hole in the razor blade in our first set of measurements (changed radius measurement ~1mm) so the CO2X 76715  are not as trusted. 

All data taken for CO2X and CO2Y attached and summarized below:

Position Downstream of CO2Y Annular Mask [mm]
Downstream = (+), Upstream = (-)
Beam Raduis [mm] Prev. measured with hole in razor 
- 238 11.39 12.34
0 N/A 11.27 (think hole was covered)
+143 10.77 11.17
+194 10.61 11.39
Position Downstream of CO2X Annular Mask [mm]
Downstream = (+), Upstream = (-)
Beam Raduis [mm]
+ 32 9.85
+ 133 10.01
+184 10.49
