Put optics in green path of Prometheus

Nishino

I put Faraday isolator and EOM in the green path of Prometheus.

Faraday: Thorlabs, IO-3-532-LP (2.7 mm)

Resonant EOM: Thorlabs EO-PM-R-20-C1, 20MHz (2 mm)

Before them, two lenses with focus length of 100 and 150 mm are placed at z=125 and 262.5 mm, respectively. Schematics are shown here.

Beam widths around input and output ports of Faraday and EOM are measured as below:

z [mm] Diameter x [mm] Diameter y [mm]
175 0.35 0.20
225 0.16 0.17
325 0.42 0.37
380 0.50 0.43

These are not well precise, but just to check that the beam size is smaller enough than apertures of Faraday and EOM.

They are all less than 1.5 mm for 6 sigmas. It approved that beam will not be clipped.
