Designing and implementing a thermal compensation system for the 40m arm cavity

Goal

To compensate for imperfections that arise due to optical inhomogeneities in the arm cavity mirrors by heating the ETM. The lessons learned from this exercise will help with designing/implementing a similar kind of system for the folding mirrors in the power recycling cavity.
