  • FINESSE 0.98, Frequency Domain Interferometer Simulation Software
    FINESSE 0.98 Frequency domain INterferomEter Simulation SoftwarE Andreas Freise Finesse is a fast interferometer simulation software. For a given optical setup, the pro- gram computes the light field amplitudes at every point in the interferometer assuming a steady state. To do so, the interferometer description is translated into a set of linear equa- tions that are solved numerically. For convenience, a number of standard analyses can be performed automatically by the program, namely computing modulation-demodulation error signals, transfer functions and shot-noise limited sensitivities. Finesse can per- form the analysis using a plane-wave approximation or Hermite-Gauss modes. The latter allows to compute the effects of mode matching and misalignments. In addition, error signals for automatic alignment systems can be modeled. 28.02.2005 Finesse and the accompanying documentation and the example files have been written by: Andreas Freise European Gravitational Observatory Via E.

CHICAGO 1933 &VlZ%z Copyright, 1933 by Albert Whitman & Co. Printed in U. S. A. ©CIA 67155 NOV 15 1933 PREFACE THE authors of this digest of the generally accepted methods of Contract Bridge have made an exhaustive study of the Approach- Forcing, the Official, and the One-Over-One Systems, and recog¬ nize many of the sound principles advanced by their proponents. While the Approach-Forcing contains some of the principles of the One-Over-One, it differs in many ways with the method known strictly as the One-Over-One, as advanced by Messrs. Sims, Reith or Mrs, Kerwin. We feel that many of the millions of players who have adopted the Approach-Forcing method as advanced by Mr. and Mrs. Culbertson may be prone to change their bidding methods and strategy to conform with the new One-Over-One idea which is being fused with that system, as they will find that, by the proper application of the original Approach- Forcing System, that method of Contract will be entirely satisfactory. We believe that the One-Over-One, by Mr. Sims and adopted by Mrs.
