IMC WFS checkup with the diode laser
A much-delayed alog: I completed DC and RF calibration checks on both IMC WFS using the 980 nm AM laser.  The conclusion is that the WFS work, by and large.  For two segments of WFS_B, the readout is about 15% lower than expected.  And for both WFS, segments (1, 2, 3, 4) in the DC outputs apparently correspond to segments (4, 3, 2, 1) in the RF outputs.  Details below.

Devices tested
WFS_A: head S1300267 / demod S1001018
WFS_B: head S1300268 / demod S1001034
WFS interface chassis S1200441

AM laser source
4 mW nominal output
0.1 Vpp RF drive at 24.078473 MHz
RF input calibration is 13 mW/V => RF power is 1.3 mW

Calibration factors
WFS PD responsivity at 980 nm is in the range 0.5-0.6 mA/mW
WFS PD DC transimpedance is 1 V/mA
WFS_A PD RF transimpedance is (0.38, 0.43, 0.37, 0.38) V/mA for segments (4, 3, 2, 1)
WFS_B PD RF transimpedance is (0.46, 0.47, 0.40, 0.46) V/mA for segments (4, 3, 2, 1)
WFS interface DC gain is 1 (gain setting = LOW)
Gain through demod board is 5 V(dc)/V(rf) (front panel) or 10 V(dc)/V(rf) (differential output to ADC)
ADC conversion is 1638 ct/V
