Date: October 3rd, 2001
Attendees: Luca, Erika, Virginio, Mark Barton, Biplab (Caltech)
First, Luca Matone talked about his recent work (not completed) on characterization of actuators. He pointed out some discrepancies in low and high frequency ends in between his model and measurement.
After that Virginio Sannibale talked about problems he is facing in simulating 'blades' and how he is trying to validate and correct the code with the help ofGion-Carlos Cella.
Mark Barton showed us the Mathematica code that he has written to study advanced suspension system and its modes.
Biplab reported about problems he and Hiro have encountered in getting TEM00 light correct in simulation with mismatched beams.
Last Erika talked about her FFT studies of flat-top beams.
