== Noise Requirement ==
I'd say the arm cavity length should not change more than 1/100 of the resonance width in the time scale of 10sec.[[BR]] For this to be fulfilled, the RMS fluctuation of the cavity length must be suppressed below 1e-11m level.[[BR]] Does this make sense ?
== Control information ==
=== Laser Frequency vs Crystal Temperature ===
Plots of the laser frequency vs temperature (measured by beating against a second laser) are shown below. [http://nodus.ligo.caltech.edu:8080/40m/2794 Also, see the elog here].
Line 61: Line 89:
=== Noise Sources ===
==== PLL phase noise ====
==== Phase noise from the cavity common mode motion ====
When the cavity is locked to the green laser, the differential motion of the two mirrors will be suppressed by the servo.[[BR]] However, the common motion of the cavity mirrors will not be suppressed. This common motion will show up as phase noises [[BR]] of the lasers. The time derivative of phase noise is equivalent to frequency noise. The equivalent displacement noise seen [[BR]] by the cavity is dL=(w*x*L)/c, where w is the angular frequency, x is the displacement noise spectrum of the common motion, [[BR]] L is the length of the cavity and c is the speed of light (see [attachment:PhaseNoise.pdf attachment:PhaseNoise.pdf] for derivation).

Line 68: Line 94:
The two lasers (PSL and green) see the same motion of the cavity but from the opposite sides. Hence, the effect of this phase [[BR]] noise to the two error signals of the green and the PSL lasers will be 180 deg. out of phase. The feedback from the green laser to [[BR]] the cavity length will, therefore, create a noise for the PSL laser. ==== Lightwave laser ====
attachment:lightwave_temperature_sweep.png
Line 70: Line 97:
In order to estimate the contribution of this noise to the green lock, I plotted the estimated phase noise in the following figure.[[BR]] attachment:PhaseNoise.png ==== Innolight laser ====
attachment:innolight_temperature_sweep.png
Line 72: Line 100:
I first took a spectrum of ETMX OSEM pos signal to see the motion of the mirror with damping.[[BR]] The blue curve in the figure shows the calibrated OSEM spectrum using the well known 2V/mm OSEM [[BR]] calibration and the whitening filter shape (3Hz zero, 30Hz and 100Hz pole).[[BR]] However, OSEM signal is not a good measure of the seismic noise below the pendulum resonant frequency[[BR]] because the suspension cage and the mirror move together at low frequencies.[[BR]] As a tentative solution, I put a filter to make the spectrum look like 1/f^2 below 0.8Hz.[[BR]] This is diffinitely a hacky solution, and should be replaced with a correctly measured [[BR]] seismic spectrum.

The estimated seismic motion was converted to the phase noise using the above formula.[[BR]] The RMS displacement noise above 0.1Hz is about 3e-12 m, which satisfies the requirement for [[BR]] the green lock stability (1e-11m).
