Unstable Y arm ALS points to problems with ETMY suspension |
|

[Masayuki, Manasa]
Looking into control signals and error signals of the Y arm green PDH servo,
1. The saturation of feedback signal (PZT_OUT) at +/-4000 counts (less than 5V) comes from only the readout saturating. The signals looked fine on the oscilloscope.
2. We did a sine sweep at the PZT_OUT and optimized the LO frequency. The LO frequency did not need any change.
3. The error signal has some offset to it. We are not sure where this comes from.
We have been seeing that whenever green loses lock, the spot position moves down in pitch on the ETMYF camera and the GTRY camera. This led us to think about if the lock loss originated from the PDH or from the cavity.
We looked into dataviewer channels of green, IR, oplev and suspension for the following cases:
1. Green and IR PDH locked
2. Green locked and arms flashing for IR
3. Green shutter closed and IR PDH locked
4. Green shutter closed and arms flashing for IR
5. Arms flashing for IR and ETMY oplev servo turned off.
Dataviewer snapshots of glitch in all the above cases are saved in masayuki's folder users/masayuki/ALS/kicked_mirror/
In all the above cases, we could still see the glitch. We could conclude that the problem lied with the ETMY SUS.
Shown below is the dataviewer snapshot of ETMY sus and shadow sensor channels. The glitch exists even when the oplev servo is turned off pointing to problems associated with the ETMY suspension.
