►Change in the optical layout
Overview
The major change in the optical layout is the change of the cavity lengths for PRC and SRC. Since the modulation frequencies of 11MHz and 55MHz are used for the control of the interferometer, the lengths of PRC and SRC are significantly streched.
The actual modulation frequency is 11.065399MHz and its integer multiples. (based on the measurement of the MC length on 29th Sept, 2009)
This corresponds to the cavity lengths of PRC: 6.773 m / SRC: 5.419 m
The arm cavity cause a small phase shift depending on its resonant (or say, non-resonant) condition. If we assume the arm length of 38.4 m, we get corrections of the length PRC: 6.7466 m
SRC: 5.4798 m
These cavity lengths result in numbers of modifications in the optical configuration:
- In order to accomodate longer PRC and SRC, they have to be folded across the several optical tables.
- The curvature radii of PRM and SRM are recalculated accordingly.
- We are going to employ 2inch flat folding mirrors suspended with Enhanced LIGO/Advanced LIGO style Tip-Tilt suspensions with passive damping using eddy current.

This is VariCAD file. VariCAD is installed on rosalba and allegra.
*** Now KA switched from VariCAD/dwb to AutoCAD/dwg based work. Reason:
- The original AutoCAD file is provided by M. Smith.
During the dwg->dwb conversion, a lot of information is lost.
- Because of this, it turned out (for KA) that precise work in VariCAD is totally difficult.
- Layer function of VariCAD is too weak to work with.

►Radii of curvature
Here is the Mathematica notebook I wrote to calculate various parameters for the new recycling cavities.[attachment:NewRecyclingCavities.zip attachment:NewRecyclingCavities.zip] The PDF version is here: [attachment:NewRecCav.pdf attachment:NewRecCav.pdf] [attachment:GaussianOpticsTutorial.pdf attachment:GaussianOpticsTutorial.pdf]
This notebook explains how the cavity lengths, recycling mirror ROCs, PRM reflectivity are chosen.
►Effect of the wedge
All of the main optics have wedge angles of several degrees in order to avoid undesirable interference of back-surface reflections into the main beam. Because of these wedges, we need to design the optical path slightly shifted from the normal angles.In order to incorporate the effect of the wedges, a Mathematica code to calculate the beam deflections has been developed. attachment:wedge_analysis.nb During the installation we like to align the beam spot onto ETMs while the beam goes through the center of ITMs. However, if we put the actual ITMs at their correct positions, we will not be able to see the spot at the end.
