Postscript (, ).
The drawing has been made by Roland Schilling.
The small green arrows indicate beam waists.
The greenish rectangles inside the tanks close to the walls are support platforms for the vibration isolation stacks. They restrict the area where the optical components can be placed.
The large blue boxes represent the optical tables.
Optical components are coloured in a light blue with black borders exept of those which (partially) reflect light, which are drawn in a darker shade of blue.
The thickness of the beams is drawn according to their real diameter, whereas the colour of the beams indicate the intensity: the stronger the red of the beam the higher the intensity.
