LSC Meeting - August 2001 2LIGO-G010310-00-W
(Selected) PSL issues
Improved optics layout
Optical table support legs
NPRO frequency glitches
Reference cavity tidal correction servo
Intensity stabilization
LSC Meeting - August 2001 3LIGO-G010310-00-W
Revised PSL/IOO optics layout
LSC Meeting - August 2001 4LIGO-G010310-00-W
Improved frequency noise
Number of optical components reduced
Path lengths shortened
Reference cavity orientation changed
LSC Meeting - August 2001 5LIGO-G010310-00-W
Frequency noise – table leg resonances
Bolts tightBolts loose
Stacis system did not work-electronics noise
We will try PEPS systemASAP
