HAM1 update - added some lenses and mirrors for JAC

Masayuki, Jennie, Rahul

Given below are the list of lenses and mirrors I have placed on the ISI table and roughly positioned (without the beam for now) them as per following drawings  - D2500344 and D0901821.

Lenses - L1, L2 and L3: Masayuki confirmed from the vendor that the arrow mark on the lens point towards the convex side. For lens L1, arrow is pointing against the PEEK ring (in the lens holder). For Lens L2 and L3 the arrow is pointing towards the PEEK ring. The PEEK ring for all three lens are facing towards the HAM2 chamber. In other words, curved surface of L1 is facing towards the PSL and for L2-3 towards HAM2.

I re-cleaned L1 lens after finding some dust particles on the curved surface, post cleaning the lens looked better.

Reflecting mirrors - JAC-RM1, JAC-RM2, JM2 and M3.

Masayuki and I also added a temporary Siskyou mount acting as JM3 (for Tip Tilt, just like JM1). We will replace both of them with the Tip Tilt next week.

Next, we proceed with aligning/pointing the above optics with the beam. L1 and JM2 are already decently pointing (although without a locked JAC) towards JM3.
