Results of beam-profile measurements around the sample holder

Pengbo, Simon

We finished the measurements of the beam-profile after the telescope.
The horizontal profile could not be measured directly at the waist (as we put the blade too much on the sensor-side). However, the fit with a Gaussian diffraction development gives a good result in terms of the expected waist diameter of 70 mum (~ 72 mum from the fit, see attached picture).

For the vertical measurements, we put the blade ~2cm closer to the pump-beam side and started another run. This time (see the second figure attached) we could cross the beam's waist in the expected position which is in correlation with the horizontal measurements. Also here, the distribution has been fitted and the diameter estimated to be ~74 mum at the waist, also in agreement with the horizontal measurements.
