Scope

This subsystem provides the optical viewports to pass through the optical beams from the vacuum chambers in which LCGT main interferometer is stored. The optical beams include...

The viewport subsystems that will be applied to the cryo-vacuum chambers for ITMs/ETMs of the future LCGT are NOT included in the scope of this subsystem so far.

General Description

We can extract optical beams at the viewports from the interferometer inside the vacuum chamber. The optical beams are for length control scheme of the interferometer, alignment control scheme of the mirrors, optical levers for LCGT-SUS, and other monitoring devices (CCD or equivalent video cameras).
