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 designing and implementing a thermal compensation system. 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.
Fact-finding
What are the ideal cavity parameters?
Thermal effects due to circulating arm cavity power
HOM degeneracy
