  217   Mon Apr 15 18:19:40 2024 Xinyi LuFixedinfolasers and opticsOptical roomFinesse measurement of 2-mirror cavity- Today Daniele and I cleaned the spherical
mirror by wiping it with alcohol,
and the finesse increased to 47k

and I use OEwaves CW laser to measure the
finesse of SBOX. We made 5 measurements
