we suspect that something in OFI has changed

LHO control room crew-

We suspect that something about the output Faraday has changed. 

The only thing that seems common to these two is the OFI, a baffle in it's vicinity or something like a wire from the fast shutter impacting the beam on the way to OM1.  We'd actuated the fast shutter and see no change in the AS camera, so we don't think that the fast shutter is the issue, which points us to looking at the OFI.

Editing to add that Keita points out something like a bad spot on OM1 is also a possibility.

Recreating this trend for our current situation, power drops aren't as big? Comparing a lock before last Thursday (07/11) to our most recent lock.
