Removed the top sheet

• Opened first from the door side so that any dust would spill outside.
• Then rolled the sheet inward to meet in the middle.
• Repeated this twice for the 2 HEPA filters.

Removed the sheets on the table

• Lifted sheet up making sure the top side face outside always.
• Rolled it sideways halfway through.
• Cut down the sheet vertically.
• Slided the doors to the other side and rolled the remaining half.
• On the door side, the sheets above the ALS optics were simply lifted off.

Restarting PSL

• Turned on the HEPAs at the max speed
• Switched on laser to jsut above the threshold
  • Before the 1st eom, power was 20mW 
  • After the EOM/AOM, 18mW. So about 90% transmission through all polarizing optics.
  • We saw the resonances of the PMC but could not lock it even with highest gain available (30 dB).
• Increased the input power to PMC to 100mW
  • Locked the PMC at 30dB gain
  • The transmitted power was ~50-60 mW. (Had to use power meter suspended by hand only.
  • The right before the IMC (after the 2nd EOM) 48mW. So none of the alignment was lost.
• Opened the PSL shutter.
• We were able to see IMC reflection signal.
• We were also able to see IMC catching lock as the servo was left ON earlier.
• Switched off the servo.
• Decided to increase the power while watching PMC Trans/Refl and IMC REFL
• Injection diode current to innolight was increased slowly to 2.10A. Saw a mod hopping region aroun 1.8A.
• We recovered the PMC Trans >0.7 V.
• PZT was near the edge, so moved by one FSR.
• The PMC refelction signal is still shown in red at around 48 mV.

Back to control room

• IMC was locked almost immediately by manually finding the lock while keeping IMC WFS off to preserve the offsets from yesterday.
• Then switch on IMC WFS. Working good.
• Then unlocked the servo and switched on IMC Autolocker. Lock was caught immediately.

Decided to start locking the arms

• The arm transmissions were flashing but at 0.2~0.3 level.
• Decided to adjust TT1 and TT2 Pitch and Yaw to align the light going into the arms.
• This made TRY ~0.6 / TRX ~0.8 at the peak of the flashing
• Locked the arms. (By switching on C1:LSC-MODE_SELECT which engages all servos).
• Used ASS to align Yarm then align Xarm. Procedure:
  • Sitemap > ASC > c1ass
  • Open striptool to look at progress. ! Scripts YARM > striptool.
  • Switch on ASS. ! More Scripts > ON
  • Wait for the TRY to reach to around 0.97.
  • Freeze the outputs. ! Scripts > Freeze Outputs.
  • Offload the offsets to preserve the output. ! More Scripts > OFFLOAD OFFSETS.
  • Switch off ASS. ! More Scripts > OFF
  • Repeted this for XARM.
• At the end, both XARM and YARM were locked with TRX ~ 0.97 and TRY ~ 0.96.
