August 2006 Laser Move from Coude to AO lab

Laser move preparations

Pictures taken at Palomar by VNV:

• DCP_2753.JPG: ID of connector = 0.155" (may need to be reamed)
• DCP_2755.JPG: long cable with collars and connectors - only one set (powers one IR laser completely) has been made to 10 m length. Need to agree on performance before brazing (w/ silver solder) the other 2 sets.
• DCP_2756.JPG: whole cable
• DCP_2757.JPG: shows a flat cable that has not been brazed
• DCP_2759.JPG: OD of the connector = 0.390"
• DCP_2761.JPG: OD of the connector with heat shrink insulation on top of connector = 0.438"
• DCP_2762.JPG: Modelocker electronics, TV monitor, spectrum analyzer electronics -- needed to be moved here so the laser can be moved out of the laser room
• DCP_2763.JPG: O'scope, IR viewer, vaccum/ positive pr. apparatus etc. at the bottom end of the Coude.
