Design overview
Main suspension
- SF: The top stage with a GAS filter for vertical seismic isolation.
- BF: The second stage with a GAS filter for vertical seismic isolation. It is suspended from SF GAS.
- BFRM: The recoil mass for the BF. It is suspended from the ground. It has function to sense the relative position between the BF and BFRM and actuate the BF in 6 DOFs using BF LVDTs.
- IM: The third stage suspended from the BF GAS.
- IRM: The recoil mass for the IM. It is also suspended from the BF. It has function to sense the relative position between the IM and IRM and actuate the IM in 6 DOFs using OSEMs.
- Optic: The optic for the interferometer. It is suspended from IM. It has 4 magnets for actuation.
- RM: The recoil mass for the optic. It is also suspended from IM. It has function to actuate the optic using the coils with OSEM bodies. We use Optical Lever to sense the optic position.
- Traverser: The stage with 4 motors to actuate the whole suspension in horizontal direction.
- Earthquake stop (EQ stop): The structure to protect the suspension from the large shocks, or to fix the suspension not to swing too much and be broken during installation phase.
Optical bench
Optical bench is suspended as double stage pendulum. The intermediate stage has the magnetic damper ring that is also suspended from the ground.
Inner frame
The frame just inside the chamber that is fixed on the ground.

Sensor and actuator configuration
For Optics
Oplevs as a sensor
We use the Oplev for sensing both tilt and length displacement. See JGW-T1605788.
Coils as actuators
Four magnets are attached on the optic with EP-30. manual by Tasumi manual by Fujii
For IM
OSEMs
IM OSEM is a sensor-actuator unit. Each OSEM has a shadow sensors and coil-magnet actuators. OSEM drawing
Picomotors
IM has two picomotors to change the position of the moving mass inside the IM in order to change the tilt of the IM box in pitch and roll direction.
