Yesterday, we started by aligning back the ir beam on the 2 lenses [ before I wasn't thinking about the fact that adjusting the beam position by acting on these lenses will introduce astigmatism...]
Then we used the pinhole to characterize the ir beam.
The beam waist was too far (~60mm) so we moved the first lens after the periscope closer to the periscope.
I discovered that previous fits were wrong because i was trying to fit at the same time beam waist [um] and position [mm]. I corrected this and results are presented in figure 1 (red is red beam, blue is ir).
The situation is :
- crossing position is roughly matched to the 2 beam waists
- ir waist roughly 2 times too large -> need to move the second lens after the periscope closer to the periscope by ~1mm
- ir beam is not horizontal -> higher than red beam (larger z corresponds to smaller height)
