Angular Displacement

(Alexa, Sheila)

We wanted to compare our senstitivty to angular motion between HIFOX and Y. I used Seigman (Lasers, Chap 19) equation for the beam displacement from the optical axis as a function of mirror displacements. In my calculation, I used the following values

I found the ratio of HIFO X to HIFOY for...

ISI-ITMX frequency comb

Sebastien, Hugh

We investigated a little more on BSC-ITMX comb issue that we noticed yesterday (see Jeff's log).

Our guess what that the position sensors are cross talking with each other between the chambers at the corner station. To verify that, we turned off the CPSs of BSC-BS, to see if it makes the comb disappear.

In the plots attached, the red curves are the reference curve (BSC-BS ON). We can see a comb on the rotational DOFs, starting at 0.45Hz. When the CPSs of the BS are OFF (blue curves), the comb goes away. At this point, I think we can clearly assest that we have a CPS issue.

 

PS: the huge spike at 0.5Hz on X and Y seems unrelated with the CPS effect. We're still investigating to understand where it comes from. For now, we just installed a narrow notch at this frequency in our blend filters as a temporary solution.

Instructions for recovering from a HEPI trip on ITM or ETMX

Hugh gave me instructions for recovering from a HEPI and ISI trip on ETMx, which should work for the ITM:

1) turn off any large inputs from lsc to hepi, set a large ramp time for reengaging it later. 

2) untrip watch dogs

3)isolate level 1

4) check RX +Ry (or all) current set points (in the bias screen) to see if they are the same as the target setpoints, if not set them to be the same. (this should only be a problem for the ETM)

ISI:

1)in watchdog screen set T240 limit to something large (only needed for ETM)

2) reset watch dogs if they are tripped

3) commands undamp (may not be necessary, especially if drives are small)

4) for ETM, make sure stage1 blends are all 750mHz

5) Isolate level 1

6) after that is done make sure that St 1 blend_x and blend_Y are T100mHz_N0.44 for the ETM.  For the ITM make sure that Sebastians Notch_narrow (for the 0.5Hz noise) is engaged. 

 

I think that is all!

7) Once the T240s have settled down  (max of 5 min or so, but hopefully less if there is not a lot of tilt imposed), put the T240 Watchdog level back to its nominal operating point by pressing the 'reset' button on threshold level of the T240 in Watchdog screen. In any case, this should not be a problem, because the T240 blends will not work until the T240s have stopped saturating.

The python file to run the SR785 from the control room is under: /ligo/home/alexan.staley/Public/EX_SR785/TFSR786.py

Currently the SR785 is set up for the PDH servo board. In order to take other TFs the script is still valid, but one must manually change the cables.

excitation on ITMX L2 Y

There is an exictation running on ITMX L2 Y, I would like to start locking the green arm, so I would like to stop this.

Daniel and I saved your measurements on the ITM and ETM.  You have data down to below 0.2 Hz, and you are loosing coherence on the ITM anyway, so when we get down to the end station we will turn off your excitation.

Green arm dither alignment: switched pitch to PZT1 dither
With the reduced pitch motion in the green arm, I tried again to use the pure PZT dither scheme in pitch too. (I used it for yaw from the start).

That seemed to work just fine. So I disabled XPIT DOF1 and enabled XPIT DOF2.

I disabled the arm locking for the night to finish taking Y2Y transfer functions for L2 for ITMX and ETMX.

PRM M2 PtoP measurement launched

Another PtoP measurement on the M2 stage of PRM was launched at around 1:15 AM. It is running on opsws8 (which is Kissel's favorite workstation).

The diag file is in the official place:

PRM:

 

We had to restart the measurement around 2pm because of a template bug.

But we put the Y2Y measurement in the automatic queue, so it should start as soon as the P2P measurements finishes.

 

BS:

- the BS P2P finished, the Y2Y is now in progress

 

PR2: the anti-dewhitening on the PR2 is different from the PRM, so the templates have to be adapted smartly. We haven't done any PR2 measurements yet.

 

ETM and ITM:

We started L2 Y2Y measurements for those two suspensions. THey are in diaggui's and need to be safed in the morning.

10Watt
Kiwamu, Stefan

We increased the input power to 10Watt.

- We removed the lock from the rotational stage interlock.
- We rotated the Laser Power rotation stage from 56.1 to 30deg, raising the power by a factor of 10.
- The power levels IMC REFL and IMC WFSs were kept thge same by adjusting the lambda/2 rotation stage on IOT2L. We had and have 12mWatt on IMC REFL.
- We reduced the analog electronic gain on MC TRANS by a factor of 10.
- We verified that we now have 29.7mWatt on LSC-REFLAIR_A, and 30mWatt on on LSC-REFLAIR_B on ISCT1.


- We confirmed that the IMC UGF is still 54kHz.
- We updated the IMC Guardian to switch on all 3 stages, and increased the in-lock gain to 13dB. This left the phase margin at 26deg.

Next we fine-tuned the cross-over:
- Lowered H1:SUS-MC2_M2_LOCK_L_GAIN from 0.2 to 0.1,
- Increased H1:IMC-REFL_SERVO_FASTGAIN from -10dB to -6dB, and
- lowered H1:IMC-REFL_SERVO_IN1GAIN by 4dB (from 13dB to 9dB in-lock, from -10dB to -14dB out-of-lock. This lowered the x-over by 4dB to 15Hz UGF.


We did notice some "ring-up" tendency from the missed fringes during lock-acquisition at 10W.

Because the MC2 TRANS signal was not showing healthy signals probably due saturation in the analog chain,  the guardian wasn't capturing a fringe with the trigger. So we changed the guardian script such that it looks at IMC-TRANS instead which is not saturating. The threshold is now set to be 500 counts. This seems working so far.

Here is another plot which is related to the crossover adjustment. There was a unwanted crossover bump at 20 Hz before the adjustment.

Blue curve: before the adjustment

Red curve: after the adjustment

Green curve: during the adjustment.

Another plot: OLTF of IMC after the power increment. As expected, the OLTF didn't change at all by the power increment.

Note that it might be too aggressive because of a shoulder at 200 kHz which is kind of close to the unity gain. If it turns out that this is not good, we can always disengage the boosts and decrease the UGF a little bit.
