Optical Levers Motion with Z in High Blend (750mHz)

The first figure attached shows the optical levers motion, Monday at 1 am, with Stage 1 Z under 90 mHz blend.

The second figure attached shows the optical levers motion, Tuesday at 1:15 am (there were some offsets applied around 1:00am), with Stage 1 Z under 750 mHz blend hoping to reduce the Yaw motion at the microseism.

The input motion was very similar for the two measurements.

 

- Results:  All units except (ETMX) show more motion in the Z 750 mHz blend configuration, as summarized in the table below;  I recommend to revert the Z blend back to 90 mHz configuration to see if the results are repeatable. This can be done any time as both configurations provide similar performance anyhow (-> when it is the least disruptive for IFO locking activities),

- Other comment: it would be good to find out why ITMY and ETMY rms are dominated by features below the micro-seism (poor tilt decoupling? noisy sensor?).  This is true in both blend configurations shown in these plots.

 

RMS value of the optical levers down to 10 mHz:

                   Pitch (90mHz Z blend)           Pitch (750mHz Z blend)                   Yaw (90mHz Z blend)          Yaw (750mHz Z blend)
