Last we we installed some lower frequency blend filters into the rX and rY filter banks for stage 1 and 2 of the ETMX and ITMX ISIs. This was motivated by seeing a lot of coherence between stage 1 and 2 rY motion to the optical lever pitch signal around the first suspension mode (COH >0.8 from 0.2-0.6Hz more or less).
I've taken some performance plots for these controllers (all data was taken with level 3 controllers)
Units are nm/rHz or nRad/rtHz
I tested three states, 11 DOFs using TCrappy, Stage 1 rZ using Start, - Black and Orange dotted lines T240 and Gs13 signals
9 DOFS using TCrappy, Stage 1 and 2 rY using TBetter (lower blend frequency see plot) Stage 1 rZ using Start Cyab line T240s
10 DOFs using TCrappy, Stage 1 and 2 rY using TBetter Blue, Brown and Pinks curves, T240, Gs13 and L4Cs
The interesting plots are rY which shows lots more isolation at the suspension mode, the GS13 sensor noise is ~3E-10 m/s/rHz @ 0.45Hz. Which says that we are way into the sensor noise (today was a windless sunday), so maybe we can relax the blend a bit and knock down the microseism a bit., I'm a little suspicious that i made a calculation error here
The X plot shows some increase below 0,2Hz
The rZ plot shows a fair amount of microseism which is being increase by the Tcrappy blends, we should try a more aggressive blend for stage 1 rZ
Also ITMY does not have a good set of level 3 controller installed
I did screw up the noise floor, the GS13 spectrum hasn't been taken out of the spetrum yet,that adds a factor of 1/5 and makes the noise floor ~8E-11m/s/rtHz, the spectrum is at ~1E-11m/s/rthz at 0.5Hz
