    • Activities in University of Toyama using COMSOL JGW-E1910382

  • Thermal lensing by Kentaro Somiya ?
    • Thermal lensing in cryogenic sapphire mirrors should be small (orders of magnitude smaller than room temperature fused silica)
    • Thermal lensing in room temperature fused silica BS needs investigation
      • Rough estimation by Hiroaki Yamamoto shows it is OK-ish, comparing the result with aLIGO
      • Further investigation necessary (also for future higher power)
• Simulation activities necessary
  • LSC and ASC simulations with current ITMs and current interferometer setup
    • Especially LSC simulations not done for PRFPMI and DRMI, and 3f locking
    • Compare measured LSC and ASC sensing matrices with simulations
    • Compare measured recycling gain (for carrier and sidebands) with simulations
    • Compare measured AS mode content with simulations

  • Power recycling gain for carrier and sidebands
  • Throughput from IMC output to AS RF, OMC DC, REFL, POP, TRX, TRY
