We use the beam propagation model of the Balanced Homodyne Detection (BHD) readout system currently being installed in LIGO Livingston Observatory for our analysis. In particular, we discuss the new Alignment, Sensing and Control (ASC) of the interferometer with the new wavefront control actuators.
