ETMX Oplev BRDF comparison between 75 W and 60 W power

Peter, Sidd

Counts_to_volts = 40/2^16

Transimpedance = 20,000

Responsivity = 0.35

Oplev_from_ETMX = 5.6 m

Diode_area = 10x10 mm^2

Angle_from_test_mass = 7.6 degrees

Power_scatter = Counts x Counts_to_volts x (1/Responsivity) x (1/Transimpedance)

Solid_angle = diode_area/(Oplev_from_ETMX)^2

BRDF = Power_scatter/(Arms_Power x solid_angle x cos(angle_from_test_mass) )

I compared the ETMX Oplev BRDF between the 75 W and 60 W configuration. The details are below, the first three days are when LHO operated with 75 W and the last three days are with 60 W input power. I do not find any significant change in the ETMX Oplev BRDF.

Just to clarify, the Counts term in the Power_scatter is the difference in the Oplev counts between locked and unlocked ifo.
