Bath interferometer v2

Second try at a Bath interferometer. This time with a diode-laser, which has a larger output beam and results in more even illumination. Analysing the interferogram with OpenFringe and the Fourier-method shows our mirror is fairly spherical, 1/27th of a wave RMS from a sphere, but we have some figuring to do to get it paraboloidal.
