OPO Crystal Spot Moved

Sheila, Camilla, WP#12632.

Moved OPO Crystal Spot using instructions in 80451, last done in January 2025 82134.

For all of the used spots we moved through, to the left of the co-resonance, the loss suddenly increased as in the spot to the side of the current co-resonance was in the past used. This made us think that we are set to a different temperature to other times we have moved the spot. 

Measured NLG to be 10 with the OPO TRANS setpoint set to 95uW, the NLG was very low 7 with 80uW, hence staying at 95uW, the NLG's seemed to have dropped this week 85252, we don't know why. 

Tagging OpsInfo: This change will mean that for the next week or so we'll need to more regularly adjust the OPO TEC temperature, instructions are in 80461. Should be done pro-actively when relocking and if range is low in observing. Pop out of observing to adjust while in Observing.
