-We placed the fiber output and camera on the vibration-isolated optics breadboard. A bit better, but still significant (pictures above were afterwards). We are very certain the remaining wobbles is vibration in the fiber alignment part, as you can excite it easily by hand. The missing vibration isolation is very noticeable, even floor vibrations have a visible effect.+We placed the fiber output and camera on the vibration-isolated optics breadboard. A bit better, but still significant (pictures above were afterwards). We are very certain the remaining wobbles is vibration in the fiber alignment part, as you can excite it easily by hand. The missing vibration isolation is very noticeable, even floor vibrations have a visible effect. By eye, you cannot see these fast intensity fluctuations in the output intensity.

 +Built a proxy server for allowing network-access to the motion controller and the measured intensity. See [[https://git.fa-fo.de/rahix/FiberCoupledLaserModule/src/commit/b50cc51a03df2bef308efaaff5ec270d6712547a/alignment/control-proxy|alignment/control-proxy]] for details. 
 + 
 +Started working on a tool to sweep areas around the focus region to automatically improve alignment. In a dry run, we already see the expected intensity profiles along the sweep. 
 + 
 +With how things are aligned in the diode case right now, we are always very close to hitting the fiber on the casing/brass rod. This makes alignment in the Z direction quite annoying.
