Abstract:
This document describes the optical parameters of the various cavities for Advanced LIGO. The lengths between various optical elements, ROC values of the mirrors, and their tolerances are listed. The various cavity parameters like Finesse, linewidths, and transversal mode spacing are calculated. Included also are the higher order modes offsets from resonances. The recycling cavity parameters are picked assuming that the TCS keeps the IFO same for both the cold as well as full power operation. The RC can be matched to a low power IFO state by appropriately changing the recycling cavity mirrors positions.

Notes and Changes:
The main change is the new design of RC with 25 degree one way Gouy phase of the PRC and 19 degree one way Gouy phase for the SRC. Although not optimized for mode matching/tolerance performance, this design is a compromise between mode matching and ASC work done by ISC group.
