This is WOW!
Excellent mode matching work.
The measurement is still consistent with the low loss even with the different mode-matching level. |

|
[JC, Koji]
We've installed the LED strips on the HEPA frame. We tried not to touch the OMC there. But please check if everything is still ok.
Attachment 1: Installed LED light. Notice the room light is off. At the max brightness, it's still sufficient to work with |

Wed Aug 30 12:38:52 2023, Thejas , Optics, General, A+ OMC #1: HOM spectrum
|
Examination into bonding template confimred the limitation of space available to change cavity length by at least 10 mm to improve the cavity HOM
spectrum. Here's an anlysis of HOM spectrum for various possible ROCs and corresponding required cavity length change for optimum HOM spectrum.
Assume: Astigmatism: Rx-Ry = 8mm |
