Lock Acquisition

Lock acquisition scheme has to be planed carefully because it was a big problem in the first generation large-scale interferometers.

Probabilistic lock (a.k.a. lucky lock) won't probably work. Other locking schemes such as the arm pre-locking has to be considered.

Auxiliary Lock System

Also known as green laser lock, this scheme will make use of auxiliary lasers to lock the arm cavities first.
