For investigating Ponderomotive effects, we may need ~100 kW circulating in the arm cavities. For this, we are looking at getting an amplifier to boost the 1W input we have right now.

- 30 W output for 5 mW input
ask them about 500 mW -> 30 W (44 k$)

Why Fiber and not Free Space ?
Because fiber seems to be the way of the future...
What's the price / ease-of-use difference for the free space vs fiber?
