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]
  • Smaller ITMs/ETMs for lower the optical spring frequencies
  • 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 (1064nm/532nm) for ITMs and ETMs
    • Link to [Green locking]

►CDS (Control and Data System)

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

►Mechanics

  • Use of Tip-Tilt suspenions which is similar to one for ELIGO and AdvLIGO
  • Use of Small Optics Suspensions for ITMs/ETMs.
  • Links to [Suspension upgrade]

►Electronics

  • Upgrade of the RF detection systems
    • PDs/demodulators/RF distributors
  • Use of a multiple resonant EOM
  • Links to [Electronics upgrade]
