Based on elog 1403, I calibrated the oplevs for ITMY/ETMY.
Summary of this method is following:
We lock an arm, and slightly misalign one mirror of the arm. Then, the transmission of the arm starts to decrease quadratically as the misalign angle of the mirror changes. Here, how much the transmission decreases in terms of the misalign angle is determined by geometry of optics, so we can see how much the angle really changes from this quadratic curve.
RESULTS
These are the relationship between misalign angles measured by oplev (the units are based on the calibration for now) and transmission power.
(I updated following figures on Nov 19 2015. You can find the figures I attached once here in the zipped folder attached.)




According to this measurement, ratio of the calibration factor derived with this measurement (NEW) and the calibration factor for now (OLD), i.e. NEW/OLD was:
ETMY_PIT: 5.0265 --->> 5.3922 (without an outlier; the outlier I removed is shown in the figure in zipped folder attached.)
ETMY_YAW: 4.6205
ITMY_PIT: 1.5010
ITMY_YAW: 1.2970
This results show that calibration of oplevs for ITMY is kind of OK, but that for ETMY is so BAD and the calibration factors should be updated.
NOTE
The calibration factors of the oplevs for ETMY/ITMY are NOT UPDATED YET. I updated on Dec 11, 2015
If these results are reliable, I will update them tomorrow. |
