[Manasa, Yuta]
We locked PRMI in carrier. Measured power recycling gain was ~25.
Plot:
Here's some plot of PRC intra-cavity powers and MICH,PRCL error signals. As you can see from POPDC, cavity buildup was about 400, which means power recycling gain was ~25. Power recyling gain is fluctuating up to ~45 during lock. We need some gain normalization or something.

Movie:
Here's 30 sec movie of AS, POP, REFL when acquiring PRMI carrier lock. Although there's oscillation when acquiring lock, beam spot motion is less and stable compared with the past(before flipping PR2).
Locking details:
== PRMI carrier ==
MICH: AS55_Q_ERR, AS55_PHASE_R = -12 deg, MICH_GAIN = -0.1, feedback to ITMX(-1),ITMY(+1)
PRCL: REFL55_I_ERR, REFL55_PHASE_R = 70 deg, PRCL_GAIN = 5, feedback to PRM
Next:
- Better filters and gains for stable lock
- Kakeru method to measure g-factor (see elog around #1434)
- OSA to measure g-factor |
