Consider the lines $L_{1}$ and $L_{2}$ defined by
$$<br>L_{1}: x \sqrt{2}+y-1=0 \text { and } L_{2}: x \sqrt{2}-y+1=0<br>$$
For a fixed constant $\lambda$, let $C$ be the locus of a point $P$ such that the product of the distance of $P$ from $L_{1}$ and the distance of $P$ from $L_{2}$ is $\lambda^{2}$. The line $y=2 x+1$ meets $C$ at two points $R$ and $S$, where the distance between $R$ and $S$ is $\sqrt{270}$.
Let the perpendicular bisector of $R S$ meet $C$ at two distinct points $R^{\prime}$ and $S^{\prime}$. Let $D$ be the square of the distance between $R^{\prime}$ and $S^{\prime}$.
The value of is
