IFO Modeling
Modeling of the interferometer is used in order to design the optical configurations, the signal extraction and control schemes as well as the trouble shooting when you discover unknown phenomena with the interferometer operation.
Key points of the IFO Modeling
- Optical configuration
- Recyling cavity lengths
- Amount of Schnupp asymmetry
- Effect of arm cavity resonancies
- Power budget
- Effect of optical losses
- Recycling gains / selection of the recycling mirrors
- Signal extraction
- Length signal extraction
- 3f demodulation for lock acquisition
- Detuning
- Signal handing off procedure
- Alignment signal extraction
- MC WFS
- Dither alignment
- Aux Laser injection
- Length signal extraction
- Noise budget
IFO Modeling Tools

Optickle
By Matt Evans.
The Optickle modeling package is part of the ISCmodeling tools. The SVN contains the latest version as of Feb-02-2010.
It is independent to looptickle.
40m Upgrade Optickle Model
The 40m model file is contained under the config40m directory of looptickle.
The model represents the interferometer according to this layout:
attachment:IFO_diagram.png
A dual recycled interferometer could be set in different configurations (for a discussion on the topics see: Kokeyama K. et al. Class. Quantum Grav. 25 (2008) 235013 (12pp)).
The 40m will follow the choices for Advanced LIGO.
The single sub-cavities of the model are individually set in the following ways:
Arm Cavities: resonant for the carrier; non-resonant for the sidebands
Michleson: resonant for the carrier; Schnupp asymmetry of 0.0307 m
PRC: anti-resonant for the carrier; resonant for both sidebands
SRC: resonant for the carrier; resonant for the f2 sideband; non-resonant for f1
In particular, since the model adds no microscopic offset to the SRM position, and the cavity length is set equal to c/f2, the SRC is by default resonant for the carrier. That means that when the arms are locked, the carrier becomes anti-resonant and f2 resonant.
(By adding an optional microscopic offset of lambda/4 the SRC would become resonant for the carrier when the arms are locked. In that case f2 would be anti-resonant. - not desirable)
[attachment:IFOtuning.pdf In this document] I discuss the details behind the choices.

The package adds control loops to the Optickle model.
