Jenne and Yuta's Summer Plan
These are the things that we'd like to accomplish, hopefully before Yuta leaves in mid-July
* Yarm mode scan
~ Measure residual motion of Yarm cavity when ALS is engaged
* Xarm mode scan
~ Align Xarm IR
~ Align Xarm green to cavity
~ Do mode scan (similar to Yarm)
~ Measure residual motion of Xarm cavity when ALS is engaged
* Hold both arms on IR resonance simultaneously (quick proof that we can)
~ Modify beatbox so we can use both X and Y at the same time (Jamie will do this Wednesday morning - we've already discussed)
* PRMI + Arms
~ Lock the PRMI (which we already know we can do) holding arms off resonance, bring both arms into resonance using ALS
* PRC mode matching - figure out what the deal is
~ Look at POP camera with video capture - use software that Eric the Tall wrote with JoeB to measure spot size
* DRMI glitches
~ Why can't we keep the DRMI locked stably?
* DRMI + Arms
~ Full lock!!
~ Make lots of useful diagnostics for aLIGO, measure sensing matricies, etc. |
