So called q-parameter in the unit of m. Although there is no PRM in iKAGRA, this is a beam parameter at the position where the AR surface of the PRM will be located in bKAGRA. This parameter gives the perfect mode match to the iKAGRA arm cavities. However, the MIF does not require IOO to provide 100% mode matching in iKAGRA phase. More than 60% of mode matching is the current requirement, which allows us to use the same IMMT as bKAGRA.

Non-resonant sidebands to be used only for lock acquisition. Modulation index value, m, means the carrier field amplitude E0 (not power) is modulated by m*E0 (so, the sideband amplitude is m/2*E0; checked with Optickle). This SB is turned off once the interferometer is locked.

Assumed modulator arrangement

In the Optickle modeling, f1, f2 and f3 modulations are applied in series in this order. Optickle can properly handle the generation of sidebands on sidebands. So it is confirmed that series modulation is OK for bKAGRA. In practice, it may be better to apply f3 modulation first. This is to be discussed with IOO.

RFSB transmission servo

The RFSB frequencies (f1 and f2) should be set to maximize their power inside PRC, i.e. fully resonant in the central part of the interferometer. Therefore, at first, the MC length has to be adjusted to transmit the RFSBs optimized in frequency for the main interferometer. After the DC adjustment, however, small continuous adjustment to the RFSB frequencies to minimize the RFAM generation by the transmission through the MC should be performed by a RFSB transmission servo. Note that MIF does not require this servo to be implemented in the iKAGRA phase.
