40m work plan

This should be kept up-to-date. This is an overview of our near-term goals. We can link to other TODO lists from here.

Finishing in-vac work

We need to try to get this finished by the END OF THIS WEEK (1/18/2013).

This is primary goal. We need to have this working by the end of the month (1/13).

Lock both arms and optimally align
- Center spots on the ITMs
Lock the PRMI
PRMI measurements:
- Good camera images:
  - REFL
  - AS
  - POP - improve this camera. Expand the beam, and adjust the brightness
  - PR/BS face - get these hooked up
- OSA
  - REFL
  - AS
- Power budget at all available ports, include 1f(22)/2f(110)
  - PRC gain
- Sensing matrix
- Cavity length (use new Anamaria method)
- Loop gain (make sure loop is stable for measurements)
- Noise budget
Full Finesse model.
Fix hardware anti-aliasing in LSC (move up cutoff freq to correspond to sample rate)

Roughly three months.

Project page. On best-effort basis, although we'll need to coordinate exactly when we do the end-table swap out.

We have no immediate plan to vent in the near future, but I'm going to be checking on progress of this stuff weekly:
