[Yuta, Jenne]
We have measured the out of loop residual motion of the Yarm while locked with the ALS. We see ~70pm RMS, as compared to Kiwamu's best of ~24pm RMS. So we're not yet meeting Kiwamu's best measurement, but we're certainly not in crazy-land.
The Yarm ALS was locked, I took a spectrum of POY11_I_ERR, and used the calibration that we determined earlier this evening. For reference, I attach a screenshot of our ALS loop filters - we had on all the boosts, and both resonant gain filters (~3Hz and ~16Hz).
A large part of the RMS is coming from the 60Hz power line and the 180Hz harmonic....if we could get rid of these (how were they eliminated from the measurement that Kiwamu used in the paper?? - plotted elog 6780) we would be closer.
Also, it looks like the hump (in our measurementf ~100Hz, in Kiwamu's ~200Hz) is not quite an order of magnitude higher in amplitude in our measurement vs. Kiwamu's. We have ~5e-11 m/rtHz, Kiwamu had ~7e-12 m/rtHz. This increase in noise could be coming from the fact that Yuta and Koji decreased the gain in the Ygreen PDH loop to prevent the PDH box from oscillating.
While we should still think about why we can't use the same gain that Kiwamu was able to ~6 months ago, we think that we're good enough that we can move on to doing mode scans and residual motion measurements of the Xarm.
