Subject: Long Shoelaces 1 Layout Created in Gtrace and Fixed Ghosting in Beamsplitter 
I have created the long shoelaces 1 layout for cosmic explorer using gtrace, a slight modification from the shoelaces 1 layout design. I also modified the simulation code slightly to remove ghosting effects in the beamsplitter. Originally the python code specified that the HR and AR sides of the beamsplitter both have the same transmission/reflection. I modified this to the ideal case of: Refl_AR = 0, Trans_AR = 1. I have attached two images below to show the before and after effect of this modification.
