  155   Mon Oct 3 18:54:58 2022 Ronic ChicheFixedinfolasers and opticsOptical room33MHz laser SN2439 back to OrsayThis morning, with Aurélien and
Daniele, we did the swap between the 33MHz
and 133MHz oscillators.
  
  156   Wed Oct 5 15:51:26 2022 Ronic ChicheFixedinfolasers and opticsOptical room33MHz laser SN2439 back to OrsayYesterday with Aurélien, we try
to make the laser modelock using the Smaract
translation stages embedded inside the laser

  157   Fri Oct 7 17:47:39 2022 Ronic ChicheFixedinfolasers and opticsOptical room33MHz laser SN2439 back to OrsayToday, we used an "ELI-NP" Smaract
controller made with these 2 references :
MCS-3CC-ETH-TAB (SN 2271) => main
  
  158   Thu Oct 13 12:12:49 2022 Ronic ChicheFixedinfolasers and opticsOptical room33MHz laser SN2439 back to OrsayYesterday, we put back the 33MHz oscillator
into the casemate with the new Smaract controller.
after switching ON the laser controller,
  
  159   Thu Oct 13 12:19:11 2022 Ronic ChicheFixedinfolasers and opticsOptical room33MHz laser SN2439 back to OrsayToday, we succeded to make the laser modelock.
the ouptut power is above 35mW (the
powermeter was saturated)

  160   Thu Oct 13 12:26:07 2022 Ronic ChicheFixedinfolasers and opticsThomX iglooStrecher and fiber injection alignmentToday, after laser was modelocked, we checked
the power inside the fiber coming from the
Alphanov Strecher box.
  
  161   Mon Oct 17 13:58:08 2022 Ronic ChicheFixedinfolasers and opticsThomX iglooStrecher and fiber injection alignmentThis morning with Viktor, we started the
alignment of the CVBG and fiber.

we did a better alignment of the

  162   Tue Oct 18 17:51:12 2022 Ronic ChicheFixedinfolasers and opticsThomX iglooStrecher and fiber injection alignmentIn preparation for tomorrow morning, I
did a test with a 45° mount to have a
power pickup inside the injection box.
  
  163   Wed Oct 19 14:57:43 2022 Ronic ChicheFixedinfolasers and opticsThomX iglooStrecher and fiber injection alignmentThis morning with Manar, we measured the
power at different points:
- direct measurement at the output
  
  164   Wed Oct 19 15:01:32 2022 Ronic ChicheFixedinfolasers and opticsThomX iglooStrecher and fiber injection alignmentThis morning with Ronic, using a pickup
mirror, we measured the power in different
locations along the path of the stretcher
  
  165   Thu Oct 20 15:01:02 2022 Ronic ChicheFixedinfolasers and opticsThomX iglooStrecher and fiber injection alignmentI used the 33MHz spectrum measurement :

  166   Mon Oct 24 17:35:01 2022 Ronic ChicheFixedinfolasers and opticsThomX iglooStrecher and fiber injection alignmentManar + Victor, today in the morning we
aligned the CVBG of the stretcher.

The double path using the mirror
  
  167   Wed Nov 2 11:42:43 2022 Ronic ChicheFixedinfolasers and opticsThomX iglooStrecher and fiber injection alignmentThis morning with Manar, we continued the
strecher CVBG alignment and fiber injection
procedure :
  
  168   Thu Nov 3 09:09:18 2022 Ronic ChicheFixedinfolasers and opticsThomX iglooStrecher and fiber injection alignmentthis morning : still 6.2 mW at the output
of the fiber.

the powermeter has been removed
  
  169   Wed Nov 9 11:34:54 2022 Ronic ChicheFixedinfolasers and opticsThomX iglooStrecher and fiber injection alignmentMonday 7/11 morning, the power in the fiber
was still 6.2 mW

  
  170   Wed Nov 9 13:03:50 2022 Ronic ChicheFixedissuelasers and opticsThomX iglooAlphanov amplifier issueon Monday morning 7/11, we tried to restart
the Alphanov amplifier which was not turned
on since end of april 2022, but it didn't
  
  171   Wed Nov 9 14:49:52 2022 Ronic ChicheFixedissuelasers and opticsThomX iglooAlphanov amplifier issueI just tested the fuse inside the black
ON/OFF switch on the rear panel => it
is OK ! :-(
  
  172   Thu Dec 1 13:51:05 2022 Ronic ChicheFixedissuelasers and opticsThomX iglooAlphanov amplifier issueThe laser amplifier controller has been
sent yesterday and received today by Alphannov.

they should do the assessment quickly...
  
  173   Tue Dec 6 11:47:36 2022 Ronic ChicheFixedissuelasers and opticsThomX iglooAlphanov amplifier issueToday, I did a Teams meeting with Guillaume.
He didn't see any problem with
the controller.
