DARM demod phase |

| Quote: | Tonight, I was able to go up to arm power = 40 by tweaking the DARM demodulation phase.
I think the DARM loop became unstable because the demodulation phase was not right and the error signal contained some junk from I-phase.
I did not do any sophisticated demodulation phase optimization. Rather I just tweaked the phase so that the dark port image becomes stable.
I will do more careful demodulation phase tuning next time. |
In the next try, I was actually able to go up to arm power = 70 stably.
At this power level we are ready for the RF CARM hand off. |
There's actually code in place in the LSC to dynamically adjust the demod phase for AS1. I've never made much use of it, because it's possible to get around the problem with some gain tweaking if you start at the right phase, or because I did the DC readout handoff earlier.
Attached is a cartoon showing how the demod phase at the dark port changes as the CARM offset is decreased. |
