List of things to do, in order:
* Remove BS heavy door. Steve, please remove the BS door as soon as you have enough people to do so. I will be a little late, since I have a dentist appointment, but please don't wait for me. Jamie and Manasa can help you. Put on a light door.
* Remove MC light doors, make aluminum foil tube (not light access connector, yet).
* Open laser shutter, lock PMC. (Required slight tweaking of input steering.) Confirm power level into vacuum <100mW.
* Lock MC and check spot positions of MC (quickly. this shouldn't take all day, hopefully).
------------------------------- End of work for Monday. See following elog ------------------------------------------------
* Move TT1 to be as close as possible to the location indicated on the diagram, then align it.
* Make sure beam out of Faraday is hitting the center of the optic.
* Make sure beam reflected off of TT1 hits center of PZT2. Only use actuators for the final alignment, then confirm that they aren't close to the edge of their ranges.
* Lock down TT1 with dog clamps.
* Put light access connector on MC.
* Swap PZT2 out with TT2. Should be at correct spot, according to diagram, and beam should be hitting center of optic. Alignment only to the ~few degree point here.
* Re-level BS table.
* Fix oplevs that need fixing. (Manasa should have the plan on one of the diagrams).
* Put target on PRM cage.
* Align TT2 so that beam goes through PRM target.
* Open ITMX heavy door. (Probably Tuesday morning).
* Place freestanding target in front of PR2. Ensure TT2 is aligned to go through PRM target, and hit center of PR2. Again, save actuators for fine-tuning.
At this point, I think we should (temporarily) install one of the G&H mirrors as a flat mirror facing the PRM, and see if we can lock that cavity using REFL. We will want to have already created a model for this case, to compare our observations to. Or we could align the full PRMI, and try to lock that in air.
