[Steve / Kiwamu]
Motivation:
Since the oplevs were the ones we haven't carefully tested, so the oplevs need to be checked.
This checking is also a part of the suspension optimizations (see the minutes of the last 40m meeting).
In this work Steve will check two things for all the oplevs :
1. Noise level including the dark noise, electrical noise and ADC noise to just make sure that the noise are blow the signal levels below ~ 30Hz.
2. The spectra of the signals to make sure there are no funny oscillations and unexpected structures
Measurement :
To check the things listed above, we take two kinds of oplves' spectra :
1. "dark noise" when the He-Ne beam is blocked.
2. "signals" when the optics are damped by only OSEMs
We did these checks on the BS oplev today (see the last entry).
All of them are fine, for example the dark noise (including electrical noise and ADC noise) are below the signal levels.
And no oscillation peak was found. Steve will go through all of the oplevs in this way.
