[Joshua, Mary, Ma, Abhi]

On Wednesday (7/15), the particle count measurement was sufficient, so the FROSTI was transferred into the cleanroom. We unmounted it from the plastic base, and secured it to the optical table. We also transferred the neccessary parts for the HBT setup and began assembly. The breadboard was built first (except for the lenses/beamsplitter) and mounted the the optical posts which will hold it. We placed the beamsplitter as close as possible to FROSTI without touching, and secured the feet. It is ready for the lenses/beamsplitter to be cleaned and placed in their mounts. Then we will align the setup for maximum power on the transmissive arm.
