OPLEV

Today the 2m focal length lens along the oplev path (just after the laser) has been added. In Manasa's layout it allows to have a beam waist of 3.8mm on the OPLEV QPD, even if it seems to be smaller.

The laser is closer to the box wall than the layout shows (it's on the line n.1 instead of line n.9), so maybe it has to be moved in the position shown in the layout, as Steve suggests, to leave empty space just before the window.

Rana suggests a 2mm diameter beam on the QPD, so a new calculation has to be done to add a second lens.

GREEN

The beam has been aligned until the doubler, but after the crystal it it has a small tilt, so a better alignment has to be done.

Moreover, the beam waist has to be measured after the Faraday for the green, in way to choose the focal length of the lenses necessary for the mode matching.

Then the three steering mirrors to send the beam into the arm have to be put.

TRANSMON PATH

A lens which has to be put on the Transmon path (already ordered) has to be added, and the beam alignment on the QPD-y and on the PDA520 has to be done.
