Finally, some RF only CARM, see Attachment #1. During this time, DARM was also on a blend of IR and ALS control, but I couldn't turn the ALS path off in ~4-5 attempts tonight (mostly me pressing a wrong button). Attachment #2 shows the CARM OLTF, with ~2kHz UGF - for now, I didn't bother turning any boosts on. PRCL and MICH are still on 3f signals.
The recycling gain is ~7-8 (so losses >200ppm), but there may be some offset in some loop. I'll look at REFL DC tomorrow.
Can we please make an effort to keep the IFO in this state for the next week or two
- it really helped tonight I didn't have to spend 2 hours fixing some random stuff and could focus on the task at hand. |
