Loss investigation

[Aritomi, Yaochin]

First we checked visibility. Visibility is 98.2% and loss from visibility is 3.5% as follows. This is a bit worse than before and we should improve mode matching of BAB.

maximum 648 mV
minimum 120 mV
LO 336 mV
BAB 64 mV
offset 6.4 mV
visibility 98.2%
visibility^2 96.5%

Then we found that loss from dichroic mirror is 6.7% and loss from PBS is 2.1% as follows. It's strange that loss from dichroic mirror is so large.

before dichroic mirror 464 uW
after dichroic mirror 433 uW 

before PBS 331 uW
after PBS 324 uW

Tomorrow we'll align dichroic mirror and replace PBS with HR mirror. The method to align dichroic mirror is to send only BAB to scanned OPO and put HR mirror just after dichroic mirror and maximize the reflection.
