(This is also a restore of elog 40m/16971 from Jul 5, 2022 at 17:36)
MC2 actuator calibration was also done using Yarm in the same way as we did in 40m/16970 (now 40m/16977).
The result is the following;
MC2 : -14.17e-9 /f^2 m/counts in arm length (-2.9905 times ITMY)
MC2 : 5.06e-9 /f^2 m/counts in IMC length
MC2 : 1.06e+05 /f^2 Hz/counts in IR laser frequency
What we did:
- Measured TF from C1:LSC-MC2_EXC to C1:LSC-YARM_IN1 during YARM lock using ETMY (see Attachment #1). Note that the sign of MC2 actuation and ITMY actuation is flipped.
- Took the ratio between ITM actuation and MC2 actuation to calculate MC2 actuation. For ITM actuation, we used the value measured using MICH (see 40m/16929). The average of the ratio in the frequency range 70-150 Hz was used (see Attachment #2).
- The actuation efficiency in meters in arm length was converted into meters in IMC length by multiplying it by IMCLength/ArmLength, where IMCLength=13.5 m is half of IMC round-trip length, ArmLength=37.79 m is the arm length.
- The actuation efficiency in meters in arm length was converted into Hz in IR laser frequency by multiplying it by LaserFreq/ArmLength, where LaserFreq=1064 nm / c is the laser frequency.

Summary of actuation calibration so far:
BS : 26.08e-9 /f^2 m/counts (see 40m/16929)
ITMX : 5.29e-9 /f^2 m/counts (see 40m/16929)
ITMY : 4.74e-9 /f^2 m/counts (see 40m/16929)
ETMX : 2.65e-9 /f^2 m/counts (0.5007 times ITMX)
ETMY : 10.91e-9 /f^2 m/counts (2.3017 times ITMY)
MC2 : -14.17e-9 /f^2 m/counts in arm length (-2.9905 times ITMY)
MC2 : 5.06e-9 /f^2 m/counts in IMC length
NOTE ADDED by YM on July 7, 2022
To account for the gain imbalance in ETMX, ETMY, MC2, LSC violin filter gains were set to:
C1:LSC-ETMX_GAIN = 4.12
C1:LSC-MC2_GAIN = -0.77
This is a temporary solution to make ETMX and MC2 actuation efficiencies from LSC in terms of arm length to be the same as ETMY 10.91e-9 /f^2 m/counts.
I think it is better to make C1:LSC-ETMX_GAIN = 1, and put 4.12 in C1:SUS-ETMX_TO_COIL gains. We need to adjust local damping gains and XARM ASS afterwards.
As for MC2, it is better to put -0.77 in LSC output matrix, since this balancing depends on LSC topology.
