Change in the optical layout
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 following lengths of the cavities:
PRC: 6.773 m SRC: 5.419 mThis change 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.
New Optical Layout plan
The optical layout in the central part will be changed significantly to house folded recycling cavities. The current layout plan is posted here. attachment:40mUpgradeOpticalLayoutPlan01.pdf And zoomed in to the important parts: attachment:layout-zoom.pdf
The original CAD file is in the VariCAD format. The file can be found in /cvs/cds/caltech/users/aso/doc/CAD40m/2D/40mUpgradeOpticalLayoutSRMinITMX.dwb
VariCAD is installed on rosalba and allegra.
The beam size indicated by the three parallel lines in the drawing is 1" diameter. This is larger than the actual beam size. The waist size of the arm cavity is about 3mm (1/e^2 radius) and the Rayleigh range is about 27m. The beam path length inside the central part is less than the Rayleigh range. So the beam size is less than 4.2mm. If the beam is not clipped within the 1" diameter, the power loss is far less than 1ppm.
