= Next Generation DC Readout Notes = * Put the resistors on the PD block, not the nipple. * Wider separation for the PDs so the ghost beam can get wedged out. * Black glass ring around the PD cans to catch the 1st ghost beam. * Black glass dumps all over the place for the leak throughs. Optic mounts should have their own dumps. * Don't use any of the Piezo-Jena crap. * Don't use copper for the OMC body. All fused-silica, all the time. * Don't use a teensy mirror in the OMC. Calculate the needed resonant frequency. * Make both curved mirrors on a OMMT movable? And Bigger? * always draw ALL the dogs for EVERYTHING * CVI mirrors coated for 45P don't get better than ~98% reflectivity * change to use a fused silica baseplate with optically contacted mirrors * Our current Piezo-Jena mounting system makes leak-through beams un-dumpable. This really . really sucks for beams in the dark port. We should put black glass in a "sandwich" style behind . the optics. * DON'T use Kapton tape in vacuum * If you are mad, Steve, don't work on the optics. * Scan picomotors before assembling equipment using them. * Don't put any stress on the pins of a vacuum feedthrough (this affect DC photodiode design) * Put a temperature sensor inside the DC diode electronics nipple
