from PR3 and SR3 over to GariLynn to measure
their phase maps. Data is in the same place

  7837   Mon Dec 17 11:20:58 2012 JenneUpdateSUSBeam dumps on vertex oplevs removedI'm not sure when this was done, but there
were beam dumps in front of the lasers for
BS/PRM oplevs as well as ITMY/SRM oplevs. 
  
  7836   Fri Dec 14 17:12:19 2012 Evan HallUpdatePSLPMC yaw tune-up (from Wednesday night)Wednesday night, there was ~0.4 V on the

mirrors into the PMC and got the transmission

seems to be limited by circuit noise, I inserted
a RF amplifier just after the AS RF output.

RF out signal of AG4395A had been divided
by splitter with one output of the splitter

  7832   Fri Dec 14 09:31:59 2012 ranaUpdateLSCHigh frequency noise in AS signalThis is NOT calibrated. Its sort of calibrated
in the 500-1000 Hz area, but does not correctly
use the loop TF or the cavity pole.

  7830   Fri Dec 14 03:49:02 2012 AyakaUpdateGeneralEarthquakeThere was an earthquake around 2:30 am.
Now all the mirrors except SRM are damped.

displacement of the YARM cavity in the same
way as I did before (elog).

need? The first input string mirror has a
quite small incidence angle. The other input
  
  7827   Fri Dec 14 02:52:32 2012 KojiUpdateSUSTT angle of incidenceAt least, we don't want to use Al-coated
mirrors. We should use multilayer dielectric
mirrors.
  
  7826   Fri Dec 14 01:42:53 2012 DenUpdateSUSTT angle of incidenceI've estimated max possible angle of incidence
on TT if we allow 20mm tolerance for the
beam size and 5 mm tolerance for spot location

BSC will be too large because of eddy current
damping brackets. I've measured max possible
