Re: [ATM] Mirror cell



19 mm is 0.75 inch.  There are 3, 4 and 6 point Plop optimized designs 
for exactly this  set of mirror dimensions at
http://pong.telerama.com/~mdholm/atm/cells/index.html

The 3 point design gives 1/113 wave RMS.  Since I use a reference 
wavelength of 500 nM for my calculations, this translates to 4.4 nM.  
This is good support and has the advantage that the cell performance 
does not depend on mechanical fit or friction.   For the 3 point design, 
the centers of the supports go at a radius of 0.390r  or  1.56 inch 
(39.6mm) from the center of the mirror (assuming the mirror is 8.00 inch 
in diameter).  If the mirror diameter is a little different, just scale 
to fit.  A small linear scaling will not upset the calculations 
significantly.
