--Get some NPROs (why?) --Initial alignment Method to align the FPMI all at once. Now it seems tough to get both good arm alignments and good Michelson alignment with our current scripting scheme. Script-based alignment for the SRM. |
( severely shortened Jan. 7, 2007 RA) |
| Line 11: | Line 5: |
| We think we're plagued by alignment drifts, and it's hard to tell where it's occuring. We shouldn't wait for wave-front sensors on this one, but maybe instead start thinking about a DC-wavefront sensor system (ie, dithering and demodulating in a front-end). Someone should start working on some RF wave-front sensors, though. --Get the AutoRun GUI working. --LSC code upgrades Clean up the code, add state vectors for the AutoRunGUI, MatrixCopy fix, fast (or slew rate limited) input-matrix ramping, more things --measure all RF phases in various stages of lock, especially full lock. --offset exploration. We need more investigation of offset space (PRC, SRC, MICH, CARM, DARM) to finalize things like the DARM transfer function and the maximum arm power, and we also, as part of our task for AdLIGO, need to come up with smart ways to quickly explore offset space. This should be part of the general exploration of our current control/lock acquisition scheme, and of any other schemes we may come up with. |
Rolf & Alex are working on a new ASC code to do all IFO dither alignment based on Bram and Valera's design. |

| --Full output matrix diagonalization 5x5? --Goodness of POX as a CARM signal POX and POY, not being on the symmetric side of the beamsplitter, sense a great deal of DARM motion. Just how bad is this? Is our high-bandwidth CM servo eating DARM gain? We need to investigate this, and should probably start thinking about switching CARM to something on the symmetric side of the beamsplitter. --Full QPD electronics check Do all the quadrants have the same gain? If not, alignment drifts will show up as power fluctuations. Let's get that whitening fully checked out. --POS-ANGLE decoupling Sometimes a good in-lock alignment looks really crappy on the next lock. What's going on? Do we need to re-visit our low-frequency pos-angle decoupling? --Start thinking up some other schemes (lower RF frequencies, no-bang locking) --noise hunting Just cause it's last, don't mean it should be. --Calibration to m/sqrt(Hz) --Full diagnostic for AP166 and SP 166 Signal seems too small, and too noisy by demodulator. --Differential demodulation ? or double demodulation? Now we are using less noisy one of 133 or 199MHz demodulation. Should we use both for double demodulation or just leave them? In any case, we should investigate why SP and AP is less noisy with 133MHz demodudlation and why PO is less noisy with 199MHz demodulation. --Careful investigation for CARM optical gain Unexpected phase delay seems exists. It may come from optical spring on CARM. --Mode matching (why does mode-matching matter at all?) Now mode matching is adjusted to X arm with no PRM. We need to balance MM to averaged length for X arm and Y arm with PRM. --Drift of input beam (where is the evidence for this?) Input beam seems to have drift in 30 minutes or 1 hour scale. I think it may come from PZT (or MC with WFS?). --Noise Budget Before starting noise hunting, we should estimate present noise for Seismic, frequency, intensity, oscillator phase, detector, coil driver, etc. --Suspension dewhitening filters (probably doesn't matter at 4 kHz) This is a part of noise hunting. --Diagnostic for remaining suspensions specially MC2 and PRM, I feel, but also BS, SRM, ITMY(including horizontal shift). --Cleaning (wiping?) ETM and ITM to recover power recycling gain. |

| - How well is ISS running these days? A measure of RIN is needed; it would be nice if we had SOME continual monitor of performance. Osamu: Wait. - When MZ control signal saturates and falls out of lock, the ISS saturates, and MC falls out of lock. Solution is to toggle MZ servo. There should be an alarm to warn us of impending MZ and ISS saturation. Dan? - Get more light onto ISS PDs with new pickoff beamsplitter. - Commission post-MC ISS PDs? Wait, until it becomes clear that intensity noise is limiting us. - The PSL triped off twice in last 6 months for no apparent reason. Resetting the PSL was poblematical, requiring manual adjustment to PA shutter. Is the procedure at fault? Also, do our MOPA power supply front panel controls work? Osamu and Rich. - Should we get a new TT ISS board? The one we have is a prototype, and it is clear from recent work at LLO that the performance can be improved dramatically with some effort. http://www.ligo.caltech.edu/~abbott/files/T050135-00.pdf Wait, until it becomes clear that intensity noise is limiting us. |

| Line 242: | Line 88: |
| Does it still make sense to make it work, either for replacing the existing RF signal generators, or as part of a servo to stabilize the MC transmission of RF sidebands? Wait. - Replace MC servo board with newer version? Its on the way. - MC WFS gain and UGF was turned way down (UGF=0.6 Hz). Need to minimize ANG->POS couplings on MC suspensions and then try to get it back up. Dan, Osamu. ** - L7 mixer chip for MZ servo. Osamu: wait. - Add phase-correcting Pockels cell actuator for higher-bandwidth MZ loop? Will proabably be needed for AdLIGO, accd to Kentaro. |
This requires making some RF filters to put in between the stages to reduce the intermodulation peaks. WE should also think about the requirements on the spectral purity of these signals. |

This is the Phantasmical To Do list for the 40m lab: ( severely shortened Jan. 7, 2007 RA)
--In-lock alignment (This is a big one)
Rolf & Alex are working on a new ASC code to do all IFO dither alignment based on Bram and Valera's design.
--Transfer function characterization
- This follows the item above, and everyone will be interested in the results. We need to characterize the: RSE peak optical spring coupled cavity response all open loop gains/cross coupling of signals frequency noise coupling. Finesse has shown some unexpected transfer functions to places other than the DARM signal; we should investigate these. other CARM transfer functions to non-traditional signal ports
--Ground loop
Power supplies, racks, optical tables, chambers, LSC PDs, cables etc. ** <b>Get rid of all these long cables to the control room !!</b>
Main commissioning tasks (all **) - Noise budget
> Download the sites' noise budget via CVS and adapt to 40m based on Osamu/David/Ryan's work.
_ Controls: - Replace c1losepics/c1iscepics temporary cpu with permanent one - c1susvme2 sometimes loses time synch. - Replace framebuilder RAID array with fiber link to QFS system. - LSC front end cpu starts to creep up towards 61 usec. - QPD Whitening boards: whitening filters aren't switching. - Protect the front end code against NaNs from ezcademod and we need to prevent ezcademod from spitting out NaNs (and find out what causes it to do so in the first place). Rolf, Rob. - vacuum breakdown trigger failed to act at 3.7 mTorr on IOO pzts _OMC pzts have to be protected also -V1 valve interlock still does not exits! - Vacuum EPICS screen: TP on/off logic; TP readout; - Front end code slows down considerably when AWG is running? - LSC rack power is inadequate. Redo the system, add Sorensens? - Coupling between LSC IQDemod boards and whitening boards: - Convert all RFPD DC signals to their LSC PD Interface version, - The new fiber timing system from Sander seems to be working ok. - Still have big 60 Hz problems. - Fast DAQ signals from 1Y2. - Linux framebuilder? - Are all controls drawings (PDFs) up-to-date on Ben & Jay's web sites?
_ PSL: - Work on the PSLwatch script to handle all the PSL servo state logic.
- Modify ISS to make the DAQ signals fit in the ADC (110B has a +/- 2V range)
_ MC, MZ: - How about that RF multiplier circuit?
_ SUS, LSC, ASC:
- OSEM sensor glitches: still have them?
- They were isolated to be originating in ICS100b or the VME crate itself. Due to crate 5V power supply?? Rolf has a fix, used at HEPI?
- OSEM problems diagnosed by checkosem script.
- Why are ETMX and ETMY OSEM monitors different from the rest? Why is there an abnormal sign flip on ETMX side?
- Can't put excitations into SIDE OSEM channels.
- Jay, Rolf?
_ Computers: - We can't print to hp2550 from any of the operator consoles except linux3. - Review the stuff in ALH to see if
_ DC readout (all **):
Other:
- beamline as-built documentation. Update ACad drawings.
- Mike, all.
- cranes - overheating, failures.
- Temporary solution: don't run in standby mode. Ben.
- gutters on building.
- Steve.
- replace leaky valve on roughing pump.
- Steve.
