We are currently in production of 12 additional fiber bundles to replace the low-performing bundles from the last production run. Current progress is being kept in the [https://docs.google.com/a/uconn.edu/spreadsheets/d/1AZPVzbwDgBWl5UXUVSnz_8_0yO6rmNUTt_MeylHasTQ/ Fibers - 2015 Google Spreadsheet].
   −
We are currently in full scale construction mode, working full time on building the fiber bundles.  If you want to see our previous construction goals you can access them below.

===Ferrule Measurements===
    
In hopes of understanding the bulge in the spliced region of the fibers, the ferrules they are spliced in were photographed under a microscope and measured using a tracker program that allows for in-photo calibration and measurement.  The ferrules were placed as perpendicular to the table as possible in order to get the most flat, head on shot of the ferrules.  The error in the measurement of the angles was quite high.  Moving the compass only a little bit (in the tracker program) lead to very different degrees read.  Because of this I would estimate the angle to be off anywhere from +- 1-2 degrees.  I would say that the lengths measured have an error on the order of +- .05-.1 mm

Fiber transmission measurements were carried out in Lab 402 using a flash ADC and a VME-based data acquisition system that was loaned to UConn by Jefferson Lab.  Our contact at Jlab for this system is Alex Somov.  Setup and operation of the CODA data acquisition platform is described [[Data Acquisition using CODA|here]].
