Describe LCGT/subgroup/ifo/ISC/TaskList/SpatialMode/SpatialModeDesign here. == Preliminary (base) desisn of folded stable cavities == The task is to determine the locations and the ROCs of the folding mirrors given the following constraints. === Boundary Conditions === The boundary conditions for the design of the folded RCs are the following. {{attachment:BoundaryCondition.png||width="700"}} * The TEM00 mode in the RCs should match the arm cavity modes. * Out of 73m of the RC length, 25m should be allocated between the BS and the ITMs for radiation shield. * The Gouy phase shift in the RC (one-way) must be about 20deg. * The beam spot sizes on the optics should not be too small (what is the tolerance ?). * The incident angle of the beam to the folding mirrors should be as small as possible, to avoid astigmatism (1deg max). * There is a minimum distance between two optics (e.g., the PRM and PR2) coming from the size of the SAS. == Design of folded stable cavities == * [[attachment:folded_report_v7.pdf]] * [[attachment:ROC_ERROR_v2.pdf]] (revised on 2010-07-14) * [[attachment:LCGT_thermal_lens_v2.pdf]] * [[attachment:folded_negative_v2.pdf]] ---- * [[attachment:back_scattered_power.pdf]] * [[attachment:telescope_optimize.pdf]] ---- * [[attachment:ISC_SMD_100804_v2.pdf]] == Design of unfolded stable cavities == . [[attachment:100429.pdf]] == Current design of marginally stable cavities == == Some limitations in the view of vacuum and seismic attenuation group == * maximum beam shift * minimum tank separation == Higher order mode check == Higher order modes of the arm cavities should not overlap with sidebands and their harmonics. This was checked [[LCGT/subgroup/ifo/ISC/TaskList/SpatialMode/SpatialModeDesign/HOMCheck|here]]. == Old (current) layout of vacuum tanks == * Layout * Limitations
