Project: Autoalignment of the Reference Cavity of the AEI-10m

The aim of this project is produce a design document for the auto alignment system of the reference cavity for the AEI-10m by April 2010. This is a very preliminary list of topics that we should cover in this report:

• Position of quandrant detectors and spot position detectors
• Computing the corresponding control matrix and optimising it for orthogonality. This will probably include designing the gouy phase telescopes.
• Define the actuators and show that they are 'properly' orthogonal
• Define RF modulation frequency and choose photodiode design
• Noise Analysis of the system?

Here is the document: aa_aei_proto_fst_dft.pdf

Note from Fumiko's email: “There is still a need to discuss to finalize this version, and this one is subject to change although not a big nor fundamental change.”

I finished it and put it here, thanks. aa_aei_proto_4.pdf prot_ma.c pt1dcmitlens0.c pt1dcmitlens3.c dws_pt.kat
