Yoichi's final words on what do next with the interferometer (as of 5 PM on May 21, 2009):
- Measure laser noise couplings in spring and anti-spring configurations.
- Dewhitening filter turn on for the ETMs.
- Noisebudget - import from the sites.
- Stabilize CM handoff.
My personal sub-comments to these bullets:
- For the laser noise I'm not sure that we will be able to understand these if the couplings are mainly from junk light due to accidental HOM resonances.
- WE should look into putting a static passive stage of filtering into the ETMs if warranted by the NB.
- Because of the sad track record with this, I will start us off this time by importing and modifying the H1/L1 versions.
- I guess we can do this by just acquiring on MC2 with the huge CARM offset. It works for the single arm so it should work for offset CARM.
