I've made snapshots of PR2, PRM, ITMY and ITMX mirrors. Power buildup recycling gain (POWER BS / POWER PRM) was equal to 3-4.
|
We've looked at PR2 face camera when PRM, BS and one of the ITMs were aligned. We saw an extra beam at PR2 when ITMX was aligned (right plot). This spot stays on the PR2 when prcl is locked.
 
Then we looked at PR3 transmission mirror and saw that the main beam is not on the edge of the mirror. Secondary beam is clipping on the mirror mount of PR3 that we see on BS_PRM camera.
Measured beam spot positions:
| Optics |
Pitch, mm |
Yaw, mm |
| ITMX |
5.6 |
1.5 |
| ETMX |
-1.5 |
1.5 |
| ITMY |
4.8 |
-1.5 |
| ETMY |
-1.4 |
5.6 |
| PRM |
2.7 |
4.1 |
"+" for pitch means that the beam is too high, "-" too low
"+" for yaw means that the beam is left if you look from the back, "-" is right
Beam spots were measured using x, y arm and prcl locking to the carrier. |
