Subject: 532 M2 Measurements 
Took M2 measurements today. Configuration: Lens 1 (f = 50mm) at 0mm. Lens 2 (f = 150mm) at 200mm, camera at 350mm. The laser beam was being moved in -z direction on track (so further away from the first lens). Quick data shown in the sheets plot. Not a real fit. I was trying to see where the beam waist was if there even was one. Seems that it is much further than we have room for on the track. Will need to come back and take more data. I suggest maybe Dr. Richardson or Cao come and see the configuration in person and how the beam diverges for themselves on the detector card. Maybe they can offer pointers to make this go smoother.
