Alignment of the visible laser was completed on the X table. This means there is very little optical setup that is left to do before moving the tables into the LVEA and aligning the QPD pickoff when the viewports are ready! Still to do is to check beam pointing and size with the movement of L2 on the translation stage.
Feedthrough panels for both tables were constructed as per D2500305 and have been installed onto one of the tables. Currently, we are determining how the laser cables will be installed in the panel and the power supplied for the fan, visible laser and the flipper which will use some combination of the top 3 currently empty ports. The chassis are also being mounted on the racks that live under the tables. We are steadily progressing from testing into getting the electronics and cables in there forever homes before the tables are moved to the LVEA.
