Subject: ITMX optlev return beam steered to QPD 

Followed the steps below to complete the ITMX optlev installation. The ITMX optlev return beam now reaches its QPD without being blocked by the input steering mirror.

Although, I centered the ITMX optlev readout, this was not done when the XARM flashing is maximized bcos the IMC chamber was being worked on, so this should be done later when the IR beam is back.

Quote:

Next steps:

  • The Oplev beam paths need to be adjusted.
    • The ongoing beam steering mirror is blocking the returning beam, so the ongoing path needs to be changed.
    • First setup two irises to save ingoing path.
    • Then make space for the returning beam by changing the steering mirror positions.
    • Then recover the ingoing path to the center of irises.
    • Steer the returning beam to the QPD.
    • Then maximize the flashing on XARM and center the oplev to save this position.
