Koji, Craig We became interested in Sheila and Jenne's 9 MHz RIN measurement, and so set out to measure a more complete spectrum of the 9 MHz demodulated REFL PD noise to gain some perspective on the 9 MHz amplitude modulation transmitted through the IMC. First we shuttered the PSL and measured a full suite of dark noise spectra. Then we requested ITMs and SRM misaligned, PRM aligned, and 8 watts of input laser power. This gave us 30.97 mW on REFL A LF and 28.52 mW on REFL B LF. This is not a direct comparison of 9 MHz RIN as measured by Jenne and Sheila; their measurement is capable of picking out a single sideband, while ours is the usual carrier and sidebands beatnote. We'll think about the comparison of each measurements' RIN.
Units in the plot? Not sure how you distinguish shot noise from RFAM with a measurement at just one incident power.
