Adjustment of the telescope and other progress
According to the conclusion we got before holiday (the detailed report of the work we did before the holiday will be uploaded later), I did some adjustment of the telescope today to get the beam waist we need as about 52 micrometer. At first, I changed the position of the lens little by little, but since the starting point is the beam waist less than 40, so after three times changing, the size was still far from the goal. So I recalculate the parameters of the telescope, found one of the result with the same lens we used before. According to this result and many times tiny adjustment, I got the needed waist size. The position of each lens list below( still the origin is at the output of the EOM):

L1: 37 cm
L2: 46 cm
L3: 55 cm

the final beam waist is 52.7 micrometer and the position is at 82.2 cm.
The first picture shows what we have on the optical bench before holiday, it is only for doing the measurement, so the dichroic mirror is not in the right gesture. So today I flipped the dichroic mirror, and put the SHG housing in the right position and direction, according to the result showed in the last paragraph. Aligned the inject beam and the reflection beam, got the transmission beam after the SHG and the reflection beam at the back side of the mirror after EOM. I tried to find some mode but did not get any. I will try to do it tomorrow.
Another problem is that I thought the stage we are using now is broken...in one of the direction, it can only move one way, but it can still be used.
