Abstract
Advanced Virgo is the project to upgrade the interferometric
gravitational wave detector Virgo, and it foresees the implementation of
power and signal non-degenerate recycling cavities. Such cavities
suppress the build-up of high order modes of the resonating sidebands,
with some advantage for the commissioning of the detector and the
build-up of the gravitational signal. Here we present the baseline
design of the Advanced Virgo non-degenerate recycling cavities, giving
some preliminay results of simulations about the tolerances of this
design to astigmatism, mirror figure errors and thermal lensing.
