Today we continued setting up the H2-PSL lab to start the testing the HOQIs.
* Received and moved the laser system (RIO+Laser Driver+TEC), and readout (HOQI TIA) in the H2-PSL (see picture 1)
* Gathered needed electronics from the EE shop (See list below) and plugged them in the lab
* Bagged and tagged the peek HOQI components from VPW (waveplate holders, photodiode holders, in-vac cables)
* Visually inspected the new batch of 10 flexures after c&b (see picture 2), and brought them to the H2-PSL (no issues found so far)
* Started setting up the Panasonic optical readout for CRS balancing. We will need some basic components from the optics lab to hold this readout.
