    keyword=Q-wave plate calibration

    Finally the oven temperature got stabilized.
    I carefully tuned both Q-wave plates in the longitudinal line to maximize
    the laser spectrum. The results I got are the following (1 degree accuracy):
    Q-wave #5: 126 degrees raw (fast axis is tiled by 71 degrees)
    Q-wave #6: 117 degrees raw (fast axis is tiled by 63 degrees)

    From these two numbers, I calculated the phase shift of the mirrors is 39
    degrees each.

    I will now rotate the field to transverse+ to pump the cell over night.
