Calibration of ETMY M0 drive, plus calibration of M0/L1/L2 OSEM sensing. L1 sensing is a factor of 10 off. (updated: It's a digital gain.)

Calibrated ETMY M0 OSEM drive, plus calibration of M0/L1/L2 OSEM sensing, by injecting 0.1Hz drive to M0 while the cavity is locked without low frequency offloading from VCO to ETMY. M0 damping was on but L1 damping was off.

Length drive (e.g. output of TEST and DAMP filters) to displacement

0.48 nm/cts

M0 DAMP_L_IN1 sensing 31 nm/cts
L1 DAMP_L_IN1 sensing 3.2 nm/cts
L2 DAMP_L_IN1 sensing 37 nm/cts

Length drive calibration for M0 stage is 0.48nm/cts, not 1nm/cts.

M0 and L2 OSEM sensing calibration is in a ballpark. According to Stuart JeffK, it should be 38 nm/cts.

L1 OSEM sensing calibration is off by a factor of 10. I checked digital gains but they look OK to me. JeffK called me to tell that Matt put a factor of 10 in SENSALIGN matrix for L which I forgot.

If SENSALIGN matrix element for L were 1, L1 DAMP_L_IN1 calibration would be 32 nm/cts.

And for the record, the ballpark BOSEM calibration (+/- 50% because of variations in OSEMs open light current) is

[m / ct] = (avg sensitivity * Sat Amp. Transimpendance * ADC gain)^(-1)
         = (62.5 [uA/mm] * 240e3 [V/A] * 2^16 / 40 [ct / V])^(-1)
         = 4.0e-8 [m/ct]


The ballpark AOSEM calibration is about the same, 

[m / ct] = (avg sensitivity * Sat Amp. Transimpendance * ADC gain)^(-1)
         = (80 [uA/mm] * 240e3 [V/A] * 2^16 / 40 [ct / V])^(-1)
         = 3.2e-8 [m/ct]

What was done:

Disabled VCO to ETMY offloading servo.
Disabled L1 damping.

Injected 0.1Hz 30000 counts excitation into ETMY M0 L lock filter (though I should have done this to DAMP L filters in a retrospect to make it simpler).
 

Measured the transfer coefficient from the exc to Lock filter output and OSEM DAMP L input of M0, L1, L2, and H2:ISC-ALS_EY_ARM_IN1_DQ which is calibrated in nm for the entire frequency range.
H2:ISC-ALS_EY_ARM_IN1_DQ had a coherence of 0.995 for an average of 5, everything else had a coherence of practically 1.

Since M0 damping might have some effect on the measurement (and that's the reason why I should have injected into DAMP_L), I "reproduced" the overall length drive output by adding TEST filter output and DAMP_L filter output transfer coefficients. In the end that didn't matter (only made 1% change).

Drive calibration = [H2:ISC-ALS_EY_ARM_IN1_DQ]/[reconstructed length drive].

Sensing calibration = [H2:ISC-ALS_EY_ARM_IN1_DQ]/[DAMP_L_IN1_DQ].
