keyword=Laser alignment
During the control access, I checked the alignment of the longitudinal
and tranverse lasers. I made just some minor adjustments.
When I checked the tranverse alignment and because I can directly see the laser light on the cell, I noticed that the pumping chamber looks
pretty dark. I think a lot of light is reflecting back and it is painful to look at it since it is very bright, even at low power.
This may be the reason why we cannot reach a polarization as high as before.
