Subject: Partial IMC ringdowns 

The transients are likely due to doppler interference due to the input laser frequency sloshing due to errant control signals after the IMC unlock. I performed a few "partial" ringdowns by reducing the power by about 80% while keeping the IMC servo locked. (Function generator at 0.5Vpp square wave, 0.25V offet. Turned IMC boosts off to increase the stable range of the servo).

I need to work out how to extract the loss from this, I think having a partial ringdown may change the calculations somewhat; the time constants in the trans and refl signals are not identical.

Thanks to Gautams nice setup, it was very easy to take these measurements. Thanks! Code and data attached.
