To run SIS type ''sis'' at the command line. This will open the program and give you a choice of configurations.

Typing e.g. ''FP'' will open a simulation of a single Fabry-Perot arm cavity.

Introduction to SIS

The SIS manual is available [https://dcc.ligo.org/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=160 here].

Getting started

SIS is available on a couple of the control room machines (e.g. rossa) and on menkar.ligo.caltech.edu (fast).

There is a SIS directory on the 40m SVN (https://nodus.ligo.caltech.edu:30889/svn/trunk/SIS/) which contains some ongoing work on e.g. LG33 beams.

To run SIS type sis at the command line. This will open the program and give you a choice of configurations.

Typing e.g. FP will open a simulation of a single Fabry-Perot arm cavity.

Typing lock will run the simulation and lock the cavity.

Things you might want to do

Define a simulation

When running SIS it looks in the current directory for (when looking at a FP cavity) a file called sisDB_FP.mcr.

You can place all simulation parameters in this file. The options are outlined in the manual and can be viewed using the simSpec command.

For example

simSpec

ITM

will return something like

ITM.aperture = 0.34

ITM.thickness = 0.2

ITM.Wfft = 0

ITM.mech.x = 0

ITM.mech.y = 0

ITM.mech.z = 0

ITM.mech.tX = 0

ITM.mech.tY = 0

ITM.mech.tZ = 0

ITM.opt.T = 0.014

ITM.opt.R = 0.986

ITM.opt.ROC = 2076

ITM.opt.refrIndex = 1.44963

etc

These parameters can also be changed within SIS by typing e.g. ITM.opt.ROC = 2000 within the simSpec environment.

Lock a cavity

Typing lock at the main screen will run SIS and lock the cavity. There are two options which you might want to change here.

inputBeam.matchToCavity takes care of mode matching the beam to the cavity by changing the input beam waist and position. These va
