Subject: List of measurements 

I'd like to get a concrete list of measurements written down, so that it's clear what needs to be done before I graduate.

Noise couplings:

  • Laser amplitude noise coupling to DARM
    • We don't have an AOM for ISS right now, but we should be able to just stick it back in the beam path, right?  I think Koji checked that the AOM was all okey-dokey recently.
    • AOM calibration should tell me how much the single-pass amplitude changes as a function of input signal.
  • Laser frequency noise coupling to DARM
    • Inject signal at the CM board input, which should be calibrated by looking at response to calibrated MC2 motion.
  • Marconi phase noise coupling to DARM
    • Marconi can produce internally or accept via BNC 0-10 rad of phase modulation.  Marconi spec sheet should give me rad/V for the input calibration.
  • Marconi amplitude noise coupling to DARM
    • Using external input of Marconi.  Marconi spec sheet should give me input calibration.
  • MICH err to DARM
    • Compare with Optickle model
  • PRCL err to DARM
    • Compare with Optickle model

Noise cancellation:

  • PRC angle
  • MICH noise removed from DARM (compare flat gain FF vs. Wiener FF)
  • PRCL noise removed from DARM (compare FF shape from model vs. Wiener FF)
  • MC length noise (equiv. to laser freq noise) removed from CARM & DARM

Are there things that I'm missing?  I've never had an IFO to characterize before.
