Just a quick update: over the past few days we've taken (at least) 5 scans around each peak [carrier - HOM3] at 9.4V/0.8A, 4 scans around [carrier - HOM5] at 12V/0.9A hot state with the reflector setup. We also have (at least) 5 scans of carrier - HOM5 in cold state. I attach a rough overview of the peak magnitude shifts in the first attachment. Analysis ongoing. All data stored in annalisa/postVent/{date}
Initial shifts just based on rought peak placement in the meantime:
[9.4V/0.8A] [12V/0.9A]
HOM1 10 kHz 20 kHz
HOM2 18 kHz 28 kHz
HOM3 30 kHz 40 kHz
HOM4 N/A 26 kHz
HOM5 N/A 35 kHz
I also attach the heating thermal transient from today (12V/0.9A) as seen by the opLevs. We see a shorter time constant for pitch, longer for yaw, preceeded by a dip in yaw. Similar behavior yesterday for slightly less heating, though less pronounced pre-dip. The heater is offcentered on the optic horizontally; likely this is part of the induced yaw. The spikey stuff i removed is from people walking around inside during the transient.
I've left the heater and LSC off for the night. Heater off at 2:07 am local time.
Please don't touch the oplevs; we're taking a cool down measurement. |
