Also called "beam reducing telescope (BRT)" in LCGT.
Contents
Scope
Transmission monitors for IR/Green beams.
General Description
Functions
- Collect 1064nm and 532nm light transmitting ETMs.
- Monitor the off-centering and pitch/yaw fluctuations of the ITMs/ETMs relative to the preselected optical path.
- Monitor the shape of the beam modes that transmit the arm cavity.
Requirements
For each TMS,
- 2QPDs for 1064nm are required to monitor off-centering of the beam; one is for high gain, the other is for low gain.
- 2QPDs for 1064nm are required to monitor pitch/yaw misalignments of the beam; one is for high gain, the other is for low gain.
- 2QPDs for 532nm are required.
- Remote stirring mirrors for QPDs are required at least in the initial commissioning phase.
- Remote actuators for TMS chassis would be required.
- CCD monitors for monitoring the beam mode transmitting the ETM are required.
- Optical levers (or equivalent local monitors) are required.
- Suspension system will require more signal channels?
- Shutters for high gain QPDs are required.
