Abstract:
This cleaning procedure is applicable to optics that have residue that can only be removed by water based cleaning. This procedure depends heavily on the quality of DI water used, which is why it was abandoned as the aLIGO cleaning procedure for ground glass, in favor of a Freon wipe (see procedure E1200266).
