over the break oscillator was working but didn't mode lock when we got back. we walked the 2 cavity mirrors and the stepper motors to get a small mode lock. we ultimately Set the Stepper Motors to Default, Greased the slit motor threads. and did very small adjustment to the horiztonial knob of the M7 mirror. it became way more consistent now.

The slit motor travel is about 23mm or 87k counts.

the configuration for the MIT Users are 800nm at 40mJ after the Amp, with 0.8mm diameter beam, and 300ps pulses.

Damage threshold is Energy/ Area. and Power is Energy/PulseTime

Our laser rating for damage is 0.0795J/cm^2. per pulse
