 Title: Damage on mirror surface  

Tomorrow will try to shift the injection mirror to avoid hitting the damaged spot.

Following the storage of ~ 50 kW inside the cavity and a sudden drop in transmitted power from the cavity 

damage to the mirror surface was suspected.

We broke vacuum and took images of the surface of the 2 mirrors in the cavity, the spherical and the planar mirror 

image 1 , spherical reflective surface (no visible damage with the UV light, and no visible damage under the microscope)

image 2 , planar coupler mirror reflective surface (no visible damage under UV light, but under the microscope there is a damaged spot close to the center)

image 4 is the planar surface reflective surface at zoom 8 on the microscope.
