Jour Fixe

WFP, SS, NJ, kHz, NW

• Lab operational after holiday break.
• Waldemar did some scans to look for SWAP cooling in dipole trap. Data analysis is ongoing.
• The tender process for Triplet laser is complete. Got two quotations: Toptica and M2. Will go for Toptica due to lower price, and Waldemar will complete the Official process this week.

• Everything in lab turned on except clock laser TA. Everything works well after holidays.
• But unfortunately the H-Maser is broken now (Broke sometime during Aug-October). We need to return it soon to PTB. But our OCXO should be good enough for our requirements as well.
• The PCF incoupling so far has not worked. The incoupling lens is perhaps in wrong position. Nandan will try moving the lens this week for better incoupling.
