Schedule for the OEO setup demonstration for next 2 month

  1, 2011,11/08~2011,11/15,  1week
      a, get components together for a basic OEO system (Yao's first demonstration on 1996) (Yongbo)
      b, Phase noise measurement of a signal generator or any commercial product to see whether we can do it and how much we can do. (Danielle)
      c, figure out the way how to do polish of the IPhod ring (Daryl)
      d, Paper study (Sudha). Demonstration of the evolution of the OEO systems for typical 4~5 groups (like NIST, OEwave etc), comparison of their systems' performance.

  2, 2011,11/15~2011,11/29, 2week
      a, build the basic OEO system and demonstration. (Danielle and Yongbo) 
          I', make it work and measure the phase noise
          II', change the components (e.g. different lasers, filters) or some way to improve the system performance.
      b, Order 3D PZT adjuster etc for new OEO stage (Yongbo)
      c, IPhod Ring ship out for polishment (Daryl)

   3, 2011,11/29~2011,12/13, 2week
      a, replace the fiber by a fiber loop resonator (one bus ring or add-drop ring) and try different configurations (Danielle and Yongbo)
      b, AR coating for the IPhod ring (Daryl)
      c, order necessary components based on the study of the basic OEO system (Yongbo)

   4, after 2011,12/13 New PZT stage should be ready, 4week
      a, demonstration of the new system with the fiber ring replaced by the IPhod ring (Danielle and Yongbo, Daryl)
