Line 3: Line 4:
We plan to install green lasers, which are phase locked to the PSL laser, at each end station to pre-lock the arm cavities before the lock acquisition.    . attachment:god_of_green.png

Line 7: Line 8:
== 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 ?

Line 12: Line 10:
=== 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] for derivation).

Line 23: Line 16:
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.
Line 27: Line 17:
In order to estimate the contribution of this noise to the green lock, I plotted the estimated phase noise in the following figure.[[BR]]

I first took a spectrum of ETMX OSEM pos signal to see the motion of the mirror with damping.
