Cooling a Rotating Mirror Coupled to a Single Laguerre–Gaussian Cavity Mode Using Parametric Interactions
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
The English language must be polished. Some sentences are difficult to understand. It is hardly of help to experimentalist to design a proper experiment.

Reviewer 2 Report
Authors report the theory of the cooling of a rotating mirror coupled to a LG optical cavity containing and OPA crystal. A clear introduction to the field is developed as well as a physical description of the expected phenomena, ie the cooling of the mirror due to parametric interactions. An extended analysis is done thus showing that cooling is achieved by selecting appropriate optorotational parameters like the phases and the gain of the OPA and LG mirrors and cavity detuning. The theory is thus largely developed but there is a lack of a more precise description of the required components and their characteristics. Which technology for LG mirrors, the OPA crystal and its gain, the characteristics of the incident beam incident on LG mirror, beam polarisations....The paper introduces novel concept with significant potential of performances from RT to mK temperatures but the final version must introduce with some details the required features of the components to be used for operation.

Reviewer 3 Report
This paper calls: "Cooling a rotating mirror coupled to a single Laguerre-Gaussian cavity mode using parametric interactions" and concerned of quantum mechaniical effects of rotating mirror at different temperatures (from normal conditions to millikelvin temperatures). The advantage of article are actual topic of research and long references list (31 ones).
Howerever authors don't inform which software uses for calculation (modeling)?
And what about real experiment (or it's just theoretical article)?

Round 2
Reviewer 2 Report
The authors have well considered the remarks and questions of the review. It now includes clear datas on the main components of the fig1, their key properties, technology and typical required peformances. Physical description of the phenomena, feasibilty of the experiment are well introduced and discussed. The overall quality of the paper is good and the manuscript is now very well suited for the journal.
