BS L2P and L2Y decoupling using the drivealign matrix (driving stage M2)
Koji, Kiwamu, Stefan

We finished setting the BS drivealign matrix. Attached are the transfer functions of the two filters.
To test it we put in a 0.5Hz drive, and took a snapshot of a StripTool, starting without the drivealign elements, and ending with the L2P and L2Y drivealign elements engaged.

Note that we don't understand why the L2P coupling seems to fall faster than 1/f^4 above 3Hz. Since the measurement has very low coherence, this might actually be a measurement error. However, since the drive is so weak up there, this might actually not matter in practice.


The raw data is in
