Description
In this poster I will describe the unique challenges for the optical design of the Cosmic Explorer interferometers, in many cases driven by the very long 40km arms. These challenges have led to novel design choices for the corner layout, and new requirements on many interferometer subsystems. I will describe the two leading corner layouts we have identified at this stage, as well as some of the key interfaces with the overall facility and other Cosmic Explorer subsystems and the requirements imposed.
