today with Alice,
- we measured the height of the SBOX windows center : 140mm from the optical table.
- we set the laser fiber colimator exactly at this height.
- we placed 2 mirrors to align the future telescope path at exactly 140mm height along the whole possible travel of the lenses in order to keep them aligned.
the horizontal position is also aligned on this path and a ruler has been placed along this path to help to move the future telescope lenses without misalignment.
- we aligned 2 iris on this path to keep this path axis in case of misalignment.
- we placed 2 iris at the center of the input and output FP-cavity windows.
- we precisely aligned the laser beam on these iris.
in the next days, we need to align the mounts in the SBOX and align also the 2 FP-cavity mirrors.
the output mirror will be a "bad" ThomX 2.24m ROC ULE mirror and the input mirror will be a plan 460ppm Gamma Factory mirror. |
