The mode cleaner FF static filtering is by no means done. More work has to be done in order to succefuly implement it, by the means of fine tuning the IIR fit and finding better MISO Wiener filters.
I have begun to look at implementing FF to the YARM cavity for several reasons.
1) Even if the mode cleaner FF is set up as best as we can, there will still be seismic noise coupling into the arm cavities.
2) YARM is in the way of the beam path. When locking the IFO, one locks YARM first, then XARM. This means that it makes sense to look at YARM FF first rather than XARM.
3) XARM FF can't be done now since GUR2 is sketchy.
I'm planning on using this eLOG entry to document my Journey and Adventures (Chapter 2: YARM) to the OPTIMAL land of zero-seismic-noise (ZSN) at the 40m telescope.
