notes

  • conclusion ch
  • the structure of the AS port was not well understood, will it be in aLIGO?
  • mode healing due to srm?
  • good things:
  • less low freq beam motion due to new ISI/Quad
  • new OMC/TT designs (links above)
  • We entered enhanced LIGO with the assumption that the GW mode and the carrier mode are the same, turned out not to be true
  • Science provides the human need to understand
  • The fact that the universe began 14G years ago is understandable.
  • techniques for jitter noise reduction
  • show that driving jitter source is a good way to determine
  • don't forget to acknowledge
  • tobin, kate, jeff, PDE people, old people, statmech people
  • Thomas taught me things
  • Aviv for letting me procrastinate in his lab
  • Leo, for knowing things about gr so I didn't have to.
  • Cal poly physics
  • stephen, sheila and al for part iii
  • robert, corey
  • appendix
  • how much lens is in a moved mirror
  • show that 90 degrees of gouy phase is 90 degrees of control separation (note that the beam gets bigger so thats why QPDs measure the same thing in the far field.)
  • dither sensing is partial derivative
  • mirror reflectivity conventions
  • That tem 11 mode (make pictures) HA! it's just 45 degree astigmatism
  • how to turn big tensor into matrix (index collapsing, don't forget about binary subtraction arithmetic annoyance)
  • Common misconceptions
  • Shot noise and cavity pole
  • Two arms
  • Gw mode/carrier mode? No real theory
