This document is intended to summarize (and link to) the individual system design notes related to optical design. Many of the SDN’s refer to documents written by Ming Liang for the original design, which are included in the CDR Appendices. For those documents Ming’s authorship and the date are noted.

Instrument Overview

Several documents provide general information on the instrument:
