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 ROCs of the recycling cavity mirrors can be changed a little such that the recycling cavity matches the arm cavity mode at reduced power without engaging TCS.

Notes and Changes:
I have included a couple of typos in the labeling of section 4.3. I have also added a plot showing carrier in the PRC for both arm locked and arm unlocked. (And its not April fool's joke)
