== Arm Cavity Finesse ==
We will change the transmission of the ITMs from 0.5% to 1.4% to match the new AdvLIGO design.

We will also replace the MOS (with 1.25 kg masses) with SOSs. This is to increase the effect of radiation pressure. == TAC (Technical Advisory Comittee) meetings ==

Line 6: Line 22:
We will not fine-tune the coatings of the ITMs for cool dichroic properties unless some coating place gives us a <4 month lead time.

== Modulation Frequencies ==
We will change the modulation frequencies from f1=33 MHz and f2 = 166 MHz to f1 = 9 MHz and f2 = 45 MHz. We will increase the length of the MC to accomodate this.

== Recycling Cavities ==
We will increase the length of the RCs to handle the lower modulation frequency. This will require 2 tip/tilt mirrors per cavity. These will be imperial, eddy current damped versions of the ANU tip/tilt mirrors.

Should we get new PR and SR or use what we have? (curvature, reflectivity)

== Mach Zender ==
We will not use a Mach Zender. We will use 2-3 EOMs in series or a UF Trimod if it shows up.

== Control System Computers ==
We will have a big multi-core box to run all of the front ends. It will have fast fiber links to remote ADC/DACs.

== Multi-wavelength Locking ==
Make wedges and coatings to accomodate multi-color locking if the lead time is reasonable. The beam from the end should not see the corner.

== Optical Levers ==
Make a fiber based OL delivery scheme. Try to also make 40m long OLs by putting turning mirrors into the vacuum system.
