Research at the facility will provide solutions to the problems that advanced gravitational wave detectors will encounter with extremely high optical power. The problems include thermal lensing and parametric instabilities. This article will present the status of the facility and the plan for the future experiments.enJournal article002006255010.1088/1742-6596/32/1/0560004347632000562-s2.0-3364553093451546Veitch, P.
