Mode Cleaner
- The Input Mode Cleaner is a suspended triangular cavity. Each mirror of the triangle is 0.25 kg, 3" in diameter and 1" thick. The input mode cleaner length is ~13.5 m (27 m round trip), the Finesse is ~1460. Cavity pole is 3.79kHz.
Locking
Lock Settings for IMC. Note C1:IOO-MC_FASTSW = 1 (Enable) and C1:IOO-MC_POL = 1 (Minus) is required state for autolocker to catch lock.
