[Jenne, Gabriele, Jamie]
We have looked at Koji's old Finesse code, and determined that the PRMI sensing matrix that he calculated was for the sideband-resonant case. Thus, this is the sensing matrix we are interested in for locking. Gabriele has confirmed this using independently written code with his software, Mist.
Pics or it didn't happen:

The sensing matrix is:

Numerical values are on the wiki: https://wiki-40m.ligo.caltech.edu/IFO_Modeling/SensingMatrix
For any of the REFL PDs (1*f1, 1*f2, 3*f1, 3*f2), the PRCL signal is a factor of ~100 larger than the MICH signal. Rana assures us that, with some clever triggering, we should be able to lock the PRMI.
This means that we will not be venting in the next few days to flip the SRC folding mirror. We will work on PRMI lock (probably first with 1*f, but then quickly moving on to 3*f), and as soon as Annalisa and Manasa have the new ETMY table ready for us, we will then do PRFPMI. (We can also play with the Xarm green until Yarm green is back). |
