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.

Non-resonant sidebands to be used only for lock acquisition.

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.
