Cabling

Cabling (final) 

[Koji, Jeff]

The L1 OMC finally sent out from Caltech!

  

[Koji Zach Suresh]

The OMC arrived at LLO without any destruction!

• We found that one shock sensor on the box turned red, the other stayed white.
• We brought the Perican case to the changing room and the wrapping was opened in the optics lab.
• The OMC was discovered without any obvious damage. Successful shipment!
• The inspection with a halogen light indicated some amount of particules on the breadboard.
  The both sides of the breadboard were wiped with the cleanroom cloth.
• The First Contact layers on the optics were removed while the ionized nitrogen gas was brew.

[Koji Zach]

We worked on the OMC test over the weekend.

- At the beginning, the measured OMC transmission was ~85% even after subtracting the junk light and sidebands from the calculation.

- A pretty visible (by eye) dust were on CM1. Also a small residue of First Contact was found on the same mirror.

- We applied FC only on CM1 to remove these.

- The measued transmission went up to the level of 96%.

- We swept the incident power from 0.3mW to 30mW in order to see the dependence of the transmission against the incident power.

- The variation of the transmission ~10% was observed (attached figure 1, Red). This was compared with the similar dependence measured at Caltech (Magenta)

- So, the reduction of the transmission was observed as in eLIGO, although the measurements at Caltech and LLO are not consistent.

- Can this be attributed to the dependence of the PD efficiency? We measured the incident power on the PDs together with the preamp DC output. (Figure.2)
  This gives us how the responsivity changes with the incident power.

- Nevertheless, the dependence remains. We'll make more accurate measurement today.

(KA: Returned upon H1OMC building)

Yesterday, Jeff and I bonded the PZT assemblies (#3/#4).
The attached is the arrangement of the components

PZT Assembly #5/#6 were glued on Fri Aug 9th

They are removed from the fixture on Mon Aug 12th.

All of the four PZT assemblies were moved to the OMC lab.

[Jeff Koji]

The breadboard (SN2) was loaded on the transportation fixture.

The laser side template was installed and the cavity mirrors were placed.

The laser beam will be resonated in the cavity next week.

The Invar Mounting Blocks were glued on the breadboard.

Serial number #1/2/5/6/7/8 -> I1 OMC cable side

Serial number #9/10/11/12 -> H1 OMC cavity side

[Koji Jeff]

H1 OMC All Gluing completed

5 Glue H1 beam dumps (UV)

4 glass wire brackets glued on the H1 topside (UV) SN: #9/10/11/12

6 Invar blocks glued on the H1 topside (EP30) SN: #13/14/15/16/18/19

[Koji, Jeff]

We moved the H1OMC to the bake lab.

Chub set up the vacuum bake oven (Oven F) and running without the actual OMC.

We use low temperature (55degC) for the baking.

The actual OMC will be baked from tomorrow afternooon.

[Koji Jeff]

In order to prepare for the splinkler installation on the HEPA enclosure, the table with the optics was wrapped with Ameristat sheets.

A sprinkler head was installed on the HEPA enclosure. The head is covered with a plastic cap.

[Chub, Jeff, Koji]

We worked on the wiring and routing of the cables.

- The cables for the PZT was installed first.

- Pins for the mighty mouse connector were crimped on the PZT wires

- Checked the wiring diagram (D1300589) to find the pinouts.
  Pin1 of the mighty mouse is connected to PZT2+, Pin2 to PZT2-, PIn3 to PZT1+, and Pin4 to PZT1-

- Then QPD and PD cables are fixed on the cable harness.

- The QPD/PD cables are attached on the diode housings.

During this process one of the DCPD mounts moved. The fixing screws were not torqued enough.
This means that all of the FC layers need to be removed and the DCPD housing should be aligned again.

- We continued on the cabling. The cables were routed on the top (cable) side.

- Some of the cable pegs were tightened by PEEK cable ties.

- We found that Pin1 and Pin2 of the PZT cables were not intact anymore.

- We ask Chub to work on the PZT pins tomorrow. The PD alignment will be taken tonight or tomorrow.

DCPD2 got misaligned during the cable installation. The PD alignment procedure have been gone through again.

Cavity locking

- Removed the FC layers for the cavity related mirrors.

- Aligned and locked the cavity.

PD alignment

- Loosen DCPD2. Checked the reflection with a IR card. Checked the spot on the PD with an IR viewer.

- Finger-tight the screws. Check the reflection with the card again. Check the pot on the PD with a CCD.

- If the spot positions are not satisfactory repeat the process.

- If the spot positions are satisfactory, take pictures of the CCD image.

- Fixing screws for all of the PDs/QPDs were tighten by the torque driver with a torque od 1.75 inch lb.

PD QE measurements

- Measure the power incident on the PDs.

- Set up the transimpedance amp to check the photo current.

- PD1 (T side) 9.10+/-0.03 V 13.02 +/- 0.01W -> QE ~80%

- PD2 (R side) 8.70+/-0.01 V 12.53 +/- 0.01W -> QE ~80%

- These are not strange values considering the presence of the glass caps.

PZT polarity check

- The connections between the PZT electrodes and the pins were checked.

- The positive side is marked by a knot on the wire.

FC painting

- The new FC bottle was brought from Downs, thanks to Margot.

H1OMC PZT connector was replaced with the correct one. This was the final step for H1OMC.

Jeff and I packed the OMC and put it in the perikan case. It will be shipped tomorrow.

The other tools are also packed in the other box. Here is the list of the items

- Spare PD/QPDs (2 cages)
- Test PD/QPD cables
- Torque driver / bits
- Low noise transimpedance amp
- Kapton sheets

Relationship between mirror misalignment and cavity mode shift was calculated.
The technique described in T0900647 by Sam Waldman was used.

The angles and displacement of the mirrors and beams are defined in the attached figure.

x1 = 0.893134 α + 1.10676 β + 1.32252 γ + 1.24619 δ
𝛳1 = 0.75864 α - 0.75864 β - 0.271075 γ + 0.271075 δ

x2 = 1.10676 α + 0.893134 β + 1.24619 γ + 1.32252 δ
𝛳2 = 0.75864 α + 1.24136 β - 0.271075 γ + 0.271075 δ

x3 = 1.32252 α + 1.24619 β + 1.1691 γ + 1.39962 δ
𝛳3 = -0.271075 α + 0.271075 β + 0.818668 γ - 0.818668 δ

x4 = 1.24619 α + 1.32252 β + 1.39962 γ + 1.1691 δ
𝛳4 = -1.24136 α - 0.75864 β - 0.271075 γ + 0.271075 δ

Assuming the flat mirrors are fixed:
If I want to move the x3 mirror up by 1mm without moving x4, the solution is
γ = -0.00197 mrad
δ = +0.00236 mrad

This yields:
x1 = +0.33mm, x2=+0.66mm, x3 = +1mm, x4 = 0mm

Spot positions on CM1 and CM2 scanned according to the recipes provided by the previous entry.

The best result obtained was:

Transmission from FM2: 32.7mW
Incident on BS1: 34.4mW

Reflection (Unlocked): 5.99V
Reflection (Locked): 104mV
Reflection (Dark): -7.5mV

to accomodate the spot on BS1 it had to be about a mm moved from the template.

This gives us:
- Portion of the TEM00 carrier: R = 1-(104+7.5)/(5990+7.5) = 0.981
- Raw transmission: 32.7/34.4 = 0.950
- TEM00 transmission 0.950/R = 0.969
- Excluding the transmission of BS1: 0.969/0.9926 = 0.976
  => loss per mirror ~40ppm

While the OMC breadboard was being inspected, it was found that two out of five black-glass beam dumps showed sign of delamination.
(attached photos).

The base of the each beam dump is a fused silica disk (25mm dia.). The black glass pieces are bonded to the disk. The bond is EP30-2
epoxy without glass beads for bond lining. The disk is bonded on the fused silica bread board with Optocast UV low-viscous epoxy.
The delamination is about 70% of the bonded area. They don't seem to fall off immediately. But the glass pieces are not completely secure.
(i.e. finger touch can change the newton ring fringes) So there might be some risk of falling off during transportation.

The engineering team and I are exploring the way to secure them in-situ, including the method to apply UV epoxy with capillary action.

Here is the resolution.

I'll apply fillets of EP30-2 along the edges of the black glass (See figure).
In order to allow the air escape from the gap, the inside of the V will not be painted.
In any case, I don't have a good access to the interior of the V.

Dennis assured that the outgassing level will be ok even if the EP30-2 is cured at the room temp if the mixture is good.
But just in case, we should run an RGA scan (after 50degC for 24hour vac bake).
I prefer to do this RGA scan right after all of the test and cabling and right before the shipment.
Dennis is checking if we can even waive the RGA scan owing to the small volume of the glue.

Packing / Shipping

Firstly, the excess epoxy was removed using a cleaned razor balde

Secondly, EP30-2 epoxy was applied at the exterior edges of the beam dump.
Interior of the V were glued at two points. This is to keep the gap away from being trapped

Here is the result of the gluing. Some epoxy was sucked into the gap by capillary action.
I believe, most of the rigidity is proivded by the bonds at the edges.
