Purpose of the upgrade


To demonstrate AdvLIGO interferometer technologies

►Prototyping of AdvLIGO LSC

  • Lock acquisition

    • "Prove AdvLIGO LSC actually works"
    • [=> Link to 40m lock acq][=> Link to AdvLIGO LSC scheme]

  • Green laser locking [=> Link to 40m ALS][=> Link to AdvLIGO ALS]

    • "Realize lock of the arms independently from the main beam"
    • "Achieve semi-deterministic lock & smooth handing off"

  • Noise mechanisms / DC readout

    • "Discover and/or confirm by a model RSE specific noise couplings"

►Tuned / Detuned RSE comparison

  • "Clarify advantage and disadv. of the tuned/detuned configuration"
  • "Demonstrate smooth transition"

►RGC based digital control system

  • "Demonstrate complicated LSC code on the connected multiple systems"
  • "Establish rapid prototyping methods with simulated plants on the processors"
  • [=> Link to 40m CDS][=> Link to AdvLIGO CDS]


To do anything useful to make the AdvLIGO easier / faster

►DC&Dither technologies

  • Offset lock and handoffs
  • AF WFS technique
    • "Develop and characterize various new useful techniques"

►Interferometer Diagnosis

  • Cavity characterization using aux. laser injection
    • "Provide a method of precise in-situ characterization of the interferometer"

►Development / test bench of advanced technologies

  • GigE CCD WFS technique
  • Adaptive noise cancellation [=> Link to 40m ASS]

    • "Demonstrate how it works"
    • "Understand and improve its limitations"


Major things to be upgraded


►Interferometer design

  • AdvLIGO like optical configuration / sensing scheme
    • Arm finesse of about 450
    • 2 Phase modulations (11MHz & 55MHz), no Mach Zehndar

    • Longer PRC/SRC => Use of Folding mirror

    • PR gain decided for carrier, SR gain decided by sensitivity
    • Small asymmetry, extraction of f2 by a undercoupled SEC => good through put of f2 to the dark port

    • Use of third harmonic demodulation scheme
    • Links to [Optical Configuration][Power Budget][Optical Layout][PRC/SRC design][Sensing scheme][Lock Acquisition scheme]
  • Tuned or detuned?
    • Tuned / offset detuning What should be compared?

=== ►Green laser locking ==

  • Arm length stabilization using auxiliary 532nm lasers at the end of each arm.
    • Dichroic coating for 532nm and 1064nm

►CDS (Control and Data System)

  • AdvLIGO style digital control system with code generation using Matlab/Simulink (Realtime Code Generator)
  • Realtime code development with "virtual interferometer"
  • Links to [CDS upgrade]

►Mechanics

►Electronics
