Subject: ETMY HR face cleaned 

[koji, gautam]

We executed this plan. Photos are here. Summary:

  1. Optic was EQ-stopped (face stops only)., with the OSEMs in situ. We tried to do this as evenly as possible to avoid any magnets getting stuck on OSEMs.
  2. We used the specially procured acetone from Chub to drag wipe the HR face. This was a definite improvement, we should always get the correct grade of solvents when we attempt cleaning optics.
  3. It was observed that drag-wiping did not really have the desired cleaning effect. So Koji went in with hemostat / lens tissue soaked in acetone and wiped the HR face. This improved the situation.
  4. Applied a layer of F.C. Waited for it to dry, and then peeled it off. Under the green flashlight, the optic still looks horrific - but we decided against further drag-wiping/first-contacting. If the loss is truly 50 ppm, this is totally not a show-stopper for now.
  5. Suspension cage was replaced. EQ stops were released. Bias voltages were adjusted to bring the Oplev spot back to the center of the QPD. Now a free-swinging data collection is ongoing...
The following optics were kicked:

So if nothing, we got to practise this new wiping technique with OSEMs in situ successfully.

Quote:
 
  1. Prepare ETMY for first contact cleaning to remove the residual piece. 
    • Drag wipe the HR surface with dehydrated acetone 
    • Apply F.C. as usual, inspect the HR face after peeling for improvement if any.
    • This will give us a chance to practise the F.C.ing with the optic EQ-stopped (moving cage etc).
