Could use some more detail on how this measurement was done. It looks like you used the SUSPOS signal with the mirror moving, however, this is not what we want. Of course, the SUSPOS with the mirror moving will always show the mirror motion because the OSEMs are motion sensors.
Instead, what we want is to project how the actual OSEM noise in the presence of no signal shows up as MC length. For that we should use the old traces of the OSEM noise with no magnets and then inject that spectrum of noise into the SUSPOS filter bank with all the loops running. We can then use this TF to estimate the projection of OSEM noise into the MC length.
As far as improving the damping filter, the 2.5 LP is not so hot since it doesn't help at low frequencies. Instead, one can compute the optimal filter for the SUSPOS feedback given the correct cost function. To first order this turns out to be the usual velocity damping filter but with a resonant gain at the pendulum resonance. This allows us to maintain the same gain at the pendulum mode but ~3x lower gain at other frequencies.
In the past, we had some issues with this due to finite cross-coupling with the angular loops. It would be interesting to see if we can use the optimal damping feedback now that the SUS DOFs have been diagonalized with the new procedure. |
