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 only significant change is the folded signal recycling cavity mirror (SR2) ROC change by a couple of cm. Hiro Yammamoto has kindly checked all the parameters and have pointed that the SRC mode matching was a little bit off. To correct it, SR2 ROC has been changed to -4.89 from -4.87.
