Through some locking exercise I found that several things are degrading.
Remember the interferometer is like a cat, so we have to feed and take care of her everyday. (Otherwise the cat will be dead !)
Beam axis:
I guess that the beam axis has changed a lot to the horizontal direction.
The beam spots on the REFL and AS camera looked off-centered by a size of the spot.
The beam axis has to be well-aligned before the vent.
Locking of the Arms :
didn't lock at all. It could be a problem of the demodulation phase on AS55.
Also the TRY camera looked pretty much off-centered. The spot is already getting out from the field of view.
We have to fix this issue, otherwise we cannot align the beam axis.
Locking of PRM :
Sort of okay, I was able to lock both MICH and PRCL although I had to flip the sign of the MICH control gain due to the demod-phase change.
The suspensions don't look healthy. The beam spots on the REFL and AS camera move a lot even without any length feedback.
It means some of the suspensions are shaky. |
