More realistic RH-substrate-lens filter being tested

I've created a new filter for the RH substrate lens in TCS SIM. I'm testing it in H1:TCS-SIM_ETMY_SUB_DEFOCUS_RH. The filter bank is called "realRH". 

The poles and zeros are derived from a fit of a series of exponentials to HWS data for the measured RH spherical power at LLO

The (normalized) behaviour of the HWS measurement can be reproduced with the following sum:

defocus = -1 + sum(a_i * exp(-t/tau_i) )

a_i

tau_i (s)

0.1127 397 
-3.96937 1363
6.37486 2636
-0.0666803 14998
-1.45155 29306

 

Each exponential acts as a low-pass filter with a pole frequency of 1/(2*pi*tau), so the transfer function is the sum of each of these LPFs weighted by the coefficients a_i. Math then can convert that into a ZPK filter with 4 zeros and 5 poles and the desired response should ensue. That's what I'm testing at the moment: see H1:TCS-SIM_ETMY_SUB_DEFOCUS_RH_OUTPUT from 1141778267.

I think I've put the wrong sign in the filter bank ...

This didn't work. I failed to notice that Foton substituted some of the very low frequency poles and zeros (order a few microHz) with ones that were a factor of 2 or 3 different. Plots to follow.

I've just added a simpler filter with three poles and two zeros. 

poles: 9.965869E-5, 6.5094046E-5, 5.5656E-6

zeros: 2.45637E-6, -2.5739E-4

The "Alternate" values suggested in Foton are close.
