(Gautam put some numbers here for the terms please) Current best guesses (as of 30 Apr 2019):
 * T_PMC = 85%
 * T_IMC * T_FI = 50%
 * alpha_MM = 98 %
 * G_PR = 40 (once we put new folding mirrors in)
 * T_BS = 50%
 * G_arm = 285 (20 ppm round trip loss)

Giving P_arm = Plaser *2400. So if Plaser = 10W, Parm = 24kW. If we improve T_IMC * T_FI to 90%, then the overall gain becomes x4000, so 10 W from the laser becomes 40 kW in the arms.

    * Suppress laser noise at the 11 & 55 MHz readout frequencies by XX (this is primarily a PMC function as the IMC transmits the sidebands)

    * what's the MM frac between PMC and IMC?     * what's the MM frac between PMC and IMC? Judging by the [[ https://nodus.ligo.caltech.edu:8081/40m/12898 | IMC visibility]], this is ~98%.

Power calculation

P_arm = Plaser * T_PMC * T_IMC * T_FI * alpha_MM * G_PR * T_BS * G_arm

Current best guesses (as of 30 Apr 2019):

  • T_PMC = 85%
  • T_IMC * T_FI = 50%
  • alpha_MM = 98 %
  • G_PR = 40 (once we put new folding mirrors in)
  • T_BS = 50%
  • G_arm = 285 (20 ppm round trip loss)

Giving P_arm = Plaser *2400. So if Plaser = 10W, Parm = 24kW. If we improve T_IMC * T_FI to 90%, then the overall gain becomes x4000, so 10 W from the laser becomes 40 kW in the arms.

  1. What should our PMC Finesse be so that its barely enough to satisfy filtering reqs and transmission efficiency?
    • Suppress angular modes by XX (note that the IMC also filters the beam jitter)
    • Suppress laser noise at the 11 & 55 MHz readout frequencies by XX (this is primarily a PMC function as the IMC transmits the sidebands)

    • Maintain a T_PMC > 0.9X (if the existing spec is accurate, the best possible T is ~88%)

  2. What's up with our T_IMC ?
    • let's clean the IMC mirrors
    • what's the MM frac between PMC and IMC? Judging by the IMC visibility, this is ~98%.

  3. Is our T_FI too low?
    • measure this during the vent when we clean the IMC
  4. What is the loss in the PRC?
    • clipping in the PRC
    • new PR/SR mirrors
