Equipment at the 40m laboratory as of 1/2000         AJW, 1/24/00
_________________________________________________________________


There exists a rather complete inventory of equipment
on an excel spreadsheet, see me.

There are recent (12/99) photos of the lab at:
http://www.ligo.caltech.edu/~dugolini/index.html

Here are broad categories, with suggested disposition:

_______________
Things that we definitely will re-use in the upgrade:

- Optical tables, including PSL table
- Vacuum beam tube, chambers, stacks
- vacuum equipment: pumps, valves, gauges, flanges, o-rings, etc
- optical levers: red lasers, mirrors, photodiodes
- VME electronics: CPUs, DACs, ADCs, network cards
- lab devices: scopes, spectrum analyzers, amplifiers,
  function generators, power supplies
- computers, RAID array (on loan from LDAS), 
  printer, fax, xerox, seismometer, shakers, etc.
  Definitely want upgraded computer systems and networking!

Things that we *could* re-use:

- Green core (4") optics (RM, BS, SV, SE, EV, EE).

  We could re-polish-and-coat, saving $48K for new blanks;
  but optics experts recommend new higher-quality glass,
  especially for the transmissive optics (RM, BS, SV, EV).
  Still need a new blank for the signal mirror.

- digital and other video cameras
  (can they be made to work in IR?)

- suspensions:
  - two single-wire EPICS-controlled suspensions (RM, BS)
  - one single-wire non-EPICS suspensions (SV)
  - three double-wire suspensions with sharks (SV, SE, EE)

  We could re-use the two single-wire EPICS-controlled
  suspensions, espeicially if it is expedient
  (eg, if we have everything we need for first tests,
   except for the mechanical suspensions).

- mirror mounts, motorized mounts,
  picomotor-driven telescopes, pzt's.

_______________
Things we most-likely don't need:

- Green PSL: Argon laser (actually, two of them),
  lots of green optics,
  PZT's, Pockels cells, fixed cavities,
  mirrors and mirror mounts, etc.

  Whether this system is worth more as a unit
  or cannabalized, depends on who wants it!

- Green auxiliary optics (steering mirrors, periscopes,
  mode-matching telescopes, mode cleaner mirrors...)

- Green photodiodes and amplifiers, including several
  WFS PD's; Pockels cell & driver

- home built electronics (mostly NIM):
  xy modules, old lsc and asc servos, NIM crates,
  shark electronics, coil drivers, mixers, filters, etc.
