Pykat is a Python package which extends the popular optical interferometer modelling software Finesse. It provides more modern and efficient user interface for conducting complex numerical simulations, as well enabling use of Python's extensive scientific ecosystem. In this paper we highlight relationship between Finesse, how it used, provide an illustrative example has helped to better understand characteristics current generation gravitational wave interferometers.
The optical design of the Einstein Telescope (ET) is based on a dual-recycled Michelson interferometer with Fabry-Perot cavities in arms. ET will be constructed new infrastructure, allowing us to consider different technical implementations beyond constraints current facilities. In this paper we investigate feasibility using beam-expander telescopes We provide an example implementation that matches layout as presented update 2020. further show can tuned compensate for mode mismatches between...
