We obtained a good mode match overlap of 99.0% for the new IOO.
And if we move the position of MMT2 by another 10 cm away from MMT1, we will have 99.6% overlap.
Yesterday Jenne and I put MMT2 on the OMC table. MMT2 was carefully put by measuring the distance between MMT1 and MMT2.
The position looked almost the same as that drawn on the CAD design.
After putting it we measured the profile after the MMT.
The attached figure shows the computed mode overlap according to the fitting result while changing the position of MMT2 in a program code.
The x-axis is the position of MMT2, the current position is set to be zero. The y-axis is the mode match overlap.
Right now the overlap is 99.0% successfully, but this is not an optimum point because the maximum overlap can be achieved at x=100 mm in the plot.
It means we can have 99.6% by moving the position of MMT2 by another 10 cm. This corresponds to an expansion of the MMT length.
If this expansion is difficult due to the narrow available space in the chamber, maybe staying of MMT2 at the current position is fine. |
