Friday night myself and Koji measured the Transfer function of the QPD circuit at MC2 side using a chopper . Following was our procedure :

We connected some wires at the input and output of teh filter circuit to one of the segment of teh QPD. - seg 2.

A laser light was shined on to  the QPD, it was pulsed using a chopper. The frequency of rotation of teh chopper was varied.

These wires were then fed to the spectum analyser , and a transfer funstion was observed, It was nearly a low pass filter

The chopper frequency was then made variable by giving the chopper a signal from teh spectrum analyser. This signal just swiped a large range of the rpm of the chopper.

Now the input signal looked like a sine wave of varying frequency. the transfer functino looked like a perfect LPF, with a small SNR.

Attaching the plot of the TF in the next e-log (this one is on windows and cant access /cvs/cds)
