HOMODYNE VISIBILITY improvement (Monday 22/02)

A first manual overlap of the BAB and LO on the HD was performd Friday 19th,   by acting on the DL mirrors. 

With a more careful   tuning of the the LO beam power, by means of the HWO before the LO_PBS, at the end we measured a 96% HD  visibility (see attached picture).

It seems that the lab light turned on and the bench enclosure open prevent the fine equalization of the beams power since
this condition induces a variable bias on the photodiode used to measure.
Moreover it could be further improved by a fine LOtel tuning that is not possible at the present, being the lenses LO_L1 and LO_L2 without a micro-metric translator.

Useful could be to have the LO_HWP1 before LO_PBS motorized for a fine tuing of the power.

As Henning observed by email, the attached figure does not correspond to the value of the visibility declared in the post.
You can find the right figures attached to this comment.
