Minimizing Astigmatic Effects in the SRC of LIGO |
|
|
| This is the first look and analysis of the effects of astigmatism in the aLIGO optical layout which can lead to mode mismatch and therefore increased losses into higher order modes. Specifically I am currently looking at measuring the effect of changing the radii of curvature of the SRC mirrors https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1qhIehqyNukg4g8S2fqfQZz83yr9aB76tEa6fn2J-TrM/edit?usp=sharing |
