 Title: Damaged mirrors test 

Today with Dorian we tested three mirrors with which we previously haven't been able to obtain any resonance or optical beating :

- C16111/11 : The mirror looks normal under a microscope, apart from a few inclusions and maybe a small scratch towards the edge. We tested it with a 161186 M1 mirror and we weren't able to obtain any optical beating on the cavity's mirrors or resonance.

- 161185 (1) : The mirror looks normal with the naked eye. We tested it with a 161182 M2 mirror and we were able to notice some optical beating on the cavity's mirrors as well as small resonance peaks and a higher-order transverse mode.

- 161185 (2) : The mirror shows some damage on the substrate side (not the coated side). We tested it with a 161186 M2 mirror and we were able to notice some optical beating on the cavity's mirrors as well as huge resonance peaks and a Gaussian transverse mode.

The updated recap file is available here, as well as a few pictures.
