PRMI Noise budget

Measurements

• 7/Mar/2012 by KI

Sensor in use

• AS55_Q for MIHC

  • Gain of whitening filter = 30 dB for both the I and Q.

  • Demodulation phase = 17.6 deg (at which the I signal doesn't respond to the Michelson displacement).

  
  

• REFL33_I for PRCL

  • Gain of whitening filter = 42 dB for both the I and Q.

  • Demodulation phase = -38.050 deg

DC light

• port name	DC power [mW]
  AS55	0.02 mW
  REFL	644 mW

Sidebands

• The values noted here were estimated from the OSAs at the AS and REFL ports.

Optical gains

• Parameters
  description	values	notes
  Estimated Optical gain	80 uW/m
  Measured pk-pk Michelson error signal	1000 counts	Michelson was freely swinging
  Raw optical gain	5.9052 x10^9 [counts/meter]	= 4 * pi / lambda * (pk value of the error signal)
  Conversion loss of mixer	6.5 dB	from the spec sheet of JMS-1H
  ADC conversion	1638.4 counts / V	16 bit, +/-20 V
  Trans impedance at 55 MHz	556.3 Ohm	AS55 characterization
  Responsibity of diodes	0.8 [A/W]	from the spec sheet of CS3102
  Attenuation in the AS path

Servo filters

• UGF = 55 Hz
• Only FM5 (10:1000) was activated.
• G = -2
• No limiter in the digital path.
• Feeding the signal back to BS.
• Dewhitening filters in BS are ON.
• Assumption : BS actuator has a pole at 1 Hz with Q = 5
• Time delay = (without considering the effects from the analog circuits and the down sampleing filters.)

RAM effects

• There is a big RAM signal in the I signal. The signals float from -100 counts to 0 counts as the Michelson freely swings.
  • The amount of the RAM looks changing as a function of time.
• The Q signal looks having not so much RAM effect.
