Alignment Sensing & Stabilization system
Overview
This is a dither based system. The idea is to dither (in pitch and yaw) all of the interferometer optics. We then read out the power (arm powers, PRC power, etc.) and demodulate at the dither frequencies. We can then feedback to control the full interferometer alignment.
The concept is the same as what we use to do the initial alignment of the interferometer. It was previously tried by Valera and Bram, but never worked for some reason...

DC Alignment
Below are two diagrams which illustrate the proposed method to align the 40m IFO while it is locked. Currently the controls are done using Perl scripting.
In the diagrams the dither signals to the optics are in the YAW axis of the optics, but this is done in a similar manner in the PIT axis. The labels in the colored boxes are the channels (shown in YAW, but valid for PIT as well) to which the obtained error-signals, from the demodulation, are fed back to.
