(Anti-)Squeezing Injection to IFO

Sheila, Haocun

We tried to inject squeezing CLF into the main IFO, and we saw some squeezing+anti-squeezing floating around.

I retrieved the DARM spectrum (GPS time: 1227658712 to 1227659075 and then the interferometer lose lock.), and the estimated anti-squeezing level is >~10dB? (Pink curve as reference with the beam diverter closed.) 

The loss is hard to tell, but a conservative estimation of 75%~80% is reasonable. With green power input ~16.5mW and NLG ~6. We should get 11dB anti-squeezing and ~4dB squeezing, which agrees with the quantum effects we saw.
