J. Kissel, T. Roocke I was crossing the t's and dotting the i's on our documentation to better understand what calibration / compensation to install into the new SPI front-end / MEDM infrastructure. As such I was reconciling / validating the calibration info that Sina put in LHO:89739 (originally informed by derivations in E2600104) against the info Tom put in the three travelers - S2500711 (Variant 1 for the HAM2 YAG444s), - S2500712 (Variant 2 for the HAM3 4x FFD200s and one YAG444), and - S2500713 (Variant 3 for the HAM3 additional 2x FFD200s) Two things were amiss: (1) The values of resistors and capacitors were not consistent between Sina's "R4 Resistor value now (kohm)" and "C5 capacitor value now (pF)" columns, and what Tom stated in the traveler update. As such, I asked Tom to give me more detailed confirmation -- and he delivered excellently: S2500711 (Variant 1 for the HAM2 YAG444s) CH1-4 . R4 = 1.54kohm (P1.54KFCT-ND) . C4 = 2.2nF (399-8171-1-ND) S2500712 (Variant 2 for the HAM3 4x FFD200s and one YAG444) CH1-2 . R4 = 4.99kohm (P4.99KFCT-ND) . C4 = 560pF (PCC561BCT-ND) CH3-8 . R4 = 3.32kohm (P3.32KFCT-ND) . C4 = 1nF (PCC102BCT-ND) S2500713 (Variant 3 for the HAM3 additional 2x FFD200s) CH1-2 . R4 = 53.6kohm (P53.6KFCT-ND) . C4 = 220pF (478-1484-1-ND) (2) In our testing of the TIAs both *before* and *after* these component values were installed, we were comparing values measured power values with a Thorlabs S121C power meter (in [mW]) against the TIA ADC output voltage on the positive leg *only* (in [V]), after having verified that the negative leg consistently reported the negative of the positive leg on all channels. In E2600104-v1 the AA column for "PD Calibration" -- and thus Sina's "PD calibration (mW/V)" column in LHO:89739 is the ratio of the power and positive leg only, and thus missing a factor of 2.0. So ... there's the updated table, with - the transimpedance gain, "TIA gain" calculated as R4 * 2 [V_SE/V_DIFF], with the factor of two from the last ADC driver stage - when engaged (rather than bypassed), the whitening stage with z1 = 1 / ( 2*pi* (R1*C1 + R3*C2 + R3*C1) ) z2 = (R1*C1 + R3*C2 + R3*C1) / ( 2*pi* (R1*C1*R3*C2) ) p1 = 1 / ( 2*pi* (R1*C1) ) p2 = 1 / ( 2*pi* (R3*C2)) - FBR_PWRIN single-element PD Calibration at DC (power at PD) / ( 2 * (ADC volts pos leg) ) - IFO single-element PD calibration at DC (SIG power + LO power) / ( 2 * (SIG ADC volts pos leg + LO ADC volts pos leg) ) - QPD segment calibration percentage of voltage = ADC volts pos leg of each segment / (total pos leg voltage on all segments) (total power at QPD * percentage of voltage) / ( 2 * (ADC volts pos leg of each segment) ) - a 16 bit ADC with 40 Vpp DIFFERENTIAL range, i.e. 40 / 2^16 = 6.1035e-4 [V/ct] or 2^16 / 40 = 1638.4 [ct/V] (see T1100538) DIGITAL NAME ANALOG R4 C4 TIA Gain PD/SEG Calibration TIA HF Pole Whitening NAME [kOhm] [nF] [V/A] [mW/V] [kHz] (z1,z2:p1,p2) [Hz] QPDA OL_QPD_A_SEG1 CH1 1.54 2.20 3.08e3 2.0556 46.976 (0.394, 8.06e6: 39.8, 79.6e3) OL_QPD_A_SEG2 CH2 1.54 2.20 3.08e3 2.0556 46.976 (0.394, 8.06e6: 39.8, 79.6e3) OL_QPD_A_SEG3 CH3 1.54 2.20 3.08e3 2.0556 46.976 (0.394, 8.06e6: 39.8, 79.6e3) OL_QPD_A_SEG4 CH4 1.54 2.20 3.08e3 2.0556 46.976 (0.394, 8.06e6: 39.8, 79.6e3) IFO IFO_MEAS_A CH1 4.99 0.56 9.98e3 1.0959 56.955 bypassed IFO_MEAS_B CH2 4.99 0.56 9.98e3 1.0619 56.955 bypassed IFO_REF_A CH3 3.32 1.00 6.64e3 0.6042 47.938 bypassed IFO_REF_B CH4 3.32 1.00 6.64e3 0.6304 47.938 bypassed QPDB OL_QPD_B_SEG1 CH5 3.32 1.00 6.64e3 0.3667 47.938 (0.394, 8.06e6: 39.8, 79.6e3) OL_QPD_B_SEG2 CH6 3.32 1.00 6.64e3 0.3667 47.938 (0.394, 8.06e6: 39.8, 79.6e3) OL_QPD_B_SEG3 CH7 3.32 1.00 6.64e3 0.3667 47.938 (0.394, 8.06e6: 39.8, 79.6e3) OL_QPD_B_SEG4 CH8 3.32 1.00 6.64e3 0.3667 47.938 (0.394, 8.06e6: 39.8, 79.6e3) POWER FBR_PWRIN_MEAS CH1 53.60 0.22 107.2e3 0.1154 13.497 bypassed FBR_PWRIN_REF CH2 53.60 0.22 107.2e3 0.1176 13.497 bypassed I've updated E2600104 (the google sheet), exported it and uploaded that to -v2 to corroborate.
