Paco | Summary | BHD | "On why BH55 senses the LO phase, a finesse adventure of loss and residual DARM offsets" | Yuta pointed out that the BH55 signal was weirdly never going to zero, so I actually tuned the demod angle and made sure I was reading the right (Q) quadrature. This doesn't affect our previous qualitative conclusion about DARM offsets, but here's an updated gif which also makes visualization easier (?). |

yuta | Summary | LSC | PRMI sensing matrix and RF demodulation phase tuning | that is really a lot of high precision for the REFL_11 demod phase...
for this kind of measurement, I wish we had a python code that would plot this measurment relative to our Finesse/PyKat model so we know if this table is like "Oh, nothing to see here." or "Wow! that's a Nobel prize worthy measurement !!"

yuta | Summary | LSC | PRMI sensing matrix and RF demodulation phase tuning | PRMI sensing matrix was measured under PRMI locked with REFL55_I and Q.
MICH actuator is 0.5*ITMX-0.5*ITMY (to have more pure MICH, according to 40m/15996) and PRCL actuator is PRM.
RF demod phases seem to be good within a degree or so to minimize PRCL component in Q.

yuta | Summary | LSC | Actuator calibration of PRM using PRY | PRM actuator was calibrated using PRY by comparing the actuation ratio between ITMY.
It was measured to be
PRM : -20.10e-9 /f^2 m/counts
This is consistent with what we have measured in 2013! (40m/8255)
Method:
- Locked PRY using REFL55_I using the configuration described in 40m/17521 (UGF of ~100 Hz)
- Measured transfer function from C1:LSC-(ITMY|PRM)_EXC to C1:LSC-PRCL_IN1
- Took the ratio between ITMY actuation and PRM actuation to calculate PRM actuation, as ITMY actuation is known to be 4.90e-9 /f^2 m/counts (40m/17285).
Result:
- Attachment #1 is the measured TF, and Attachment #2 is the actuator ratio PRM/ITMY.
- The ratio was -4.10 on average in 70-150 Hz region, and PRM actuation was estimated to be 4.90e-9 * -4.10 /f^2 m/counts.
MICH actuator for PRMI lock:
- When BS moves in POS by 1, BS-ITMX length stays the same, but BS-ITMY length changes by sqrt(2), so MICH changes by sqrt(2) and PRCL changes by -sqrt(2)/2.
- So PRM needs to be used to compensate for this, and the ratio will be BS + k * PRM, where
k = 26.54e-9/sqrt(2) / -20.10e-9 * sqrt(2)/2 = -0.66
- So, good MICH actuator will be 0.5 * BS - 0.33 * PRM, which is not quite consistent with the rough number we had yesterday (-0.275; 40m/17521), but agrees with the Gautam number (-0.34; 40m/15996).
- PRMI sensing matrix for REFL55 needs to be checked again.
Summary of actuation calibration so far:
They are all actuator efficiency from C1:LSC-{$OPTIC}_EXC
BS : 26.54e-9 /f^2 m/counts in MICH (40m/17285)

yuta | Summary | LSC | PRMI locked using REFL55 | [Paco, Yuta]
We locked PRMI in sideband using REFL55_I and REFL55_Q.
Lock is not quite stable probably due to alignment fluctuations, and power recylicing gain is breathing.
PRMI preparations:
- We aligned PRM using PRY (PRM-ITMY) cavity. Aligning PRM to oplev QPD center or last PRM alignment values in May 2022 (! see 40m/16875) didn't work, but we were in the middle of these two, both in pitch and yaw.
- After this, we centered PRM oplev, aligned REFL camera, POP RFPD (which provides POP22, POP110, and POPDC), and REFL11.
PRY/PRX locking:
- PRY/X was locked using REFL55_I or REFL11_I. Locking configuration which gives UGF of ~100 Hz was as follows
REFL55_I (24 dB whitening gain, 76.02 deg demod angle) C1:LSC-PRCL_GAIN=-0.03
REFL11_I (18 dB whitening gain, 32.55 deg demod angle) C1:LSC-PRCL_GAIN=-0.8
FM4,5 used for acquisition, FM1,2,6,9 turned on triggered.
- Attachment #1 is the measured OLTF when PRY was locked.
- When PRY is flashing, ASDC_OUT, POPDC_OUT, POP22_I, POP11_Q flashes upto 0.33, 1000, 30, 80, respectively.
PRMI locking:
- PRMI was locked using REFL55_I for PRCL and REFL55_Q for MICH using the following configurations to give UGF of ~100 Hz for both DoF.
PRCL
REFL55_I (24 dB whitening gain, 76.02 deg demod angle) C1:LSC-PRCL_GAIN=-0.03
FM4,5 for acquisition, FM1,2 turned on triggered using POPDC.
Actuating on 1 * PRM
MICH
REFL55_Q (24 dB whitening gain, 76.02 deg demod angle) C1:LSC-MICH_GAIN=+0.9
FM4,5 for acquisition, FM1,2 turned on triggered using POPDC.
Actuating on 0.5 * BS - 0.275 * PRM
- REFL55 demodulation phase was the same as FPMI and PRY. We checked this is roughly enough by measuring the sensing matrix to minimize PRCL component in Q.
- MICH actuation of PRM/BS ratio was roughly tuned by minimizing the sensing of MICH component in REFL55_I.
- PRCL and MICH gain was estimated by measuring the amplitude of error signals in PRY or PRM-misalgined MICH, and comparing that in PRMI.
- Attachment #2 shows the screenshot of the configuration.
- Attachment #3 and #4 are measured OLTF for PRCL and MICH.
- Attachment #5 shows the time series data when PRMI is locked.
Next:
- Tune PRM local damping
- Tune REFL55 demodulation phase better by measuring the sensing matrix
- Measure PRM actuation efficiency to check what is the right BS/PRM balancing
- Estimate power recycling gain and compare with expectations
- Lock PRMI using REFL11, AS55

Paco | Update | NoiseBudget | LO phase noise budget (BH55_Q) | I drafted a calibrated LO Phase noise budget using diaggui whose template is saved under /opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/Git/40m/measurements/BHD/LO_PHASE_cal_nb.xml which includes new estimates for laser frequency and intensity noises at the LO phase when MICH is locked (whether they couple through MICH or the LO path is to be determined with noise coupling measurements in the near future, but we expect them to couple through the LO phat mostly).
Attachment #1 shows the result.
Laser Frequency Noise
To calibrate the laser frequency noise contribution, I used the LO PHASE error point away from the control bandwidth (~ 20 Hz) and the calibrated C1:IOO-MC_F control point (in Hz) which should represent the laser frequency noise above 100 Hz. and dithered MC2 at frequencies around to 130, 215, and 325 Hz to match the LO phase error point with the MC_F signal. I was expecting to use a single 0 Hz pole + gain (to get the phase equivalent of the laser frequency noise) but in the end I managed to calibrate with a single gain of 3.6e-7 rad/Hz and no pole. Since the way the laser frequency noise couples into our BHD readout may be complicated (especially when using BH55 RF sensor) I didn't think much of this for now.
Laser Intensity Noise
For the intensity noise, I followed more or less a similar prescription as for laser frequency noise. This time, I used the AOM in the PSL table to actuate on the 0th order intensity going into the interferometer. Attachments #2-3 show the connection made to the RF driver where I added a 50 mVpp sine (at an offset of 0.1 V) excitation in the AM port to inject intensity noise calibration lines at 215 and 325 Hz and matched the LO_PHASE error point with the BHDC_SUM noise spectrum. |

rana | Update | IMC | Beam offset calculation for MC1,2,3 from dither results | I have changed the MC SUS output matrices by a few % for some A2L decoupling - if it causes trouble, please feel free to revert.
Anchal came to me and said , "I think those beam offsets are a bunch of stinkin malarkey!", so I decided to investigate.
Instead of Alex's "method" of trusting the actuator calibration, I resolved to have less systematics by adjusting the SUS output matrices ot minimize the A2L and then see what's what vis a vis geometry.
The attached screenshot shows you the measurement setup:
- copy the DoF vector from DoF column into the LOCKIN1 column.
- Turn on the OSC/LOCKIN for the optics / DoF in question (in this example its MC2 PITCH)
- Monitor the peak in the MC_F spectrum
- Also monitor the mag and phase of the TF of MC_F/LOCKIN_LO
- use the script stepOutMat.py to step the matrix
Next I'm going to modify the script so that it can handle input arguments for optic/ DOF, etc.
FYI, the LOCKIN screens do have a TRAMP field, but its not on the screens for some reason . Also the screens don't have the optic name on them. :
SUS>caput C1:SUS-MC2_LOCKIN1_OSC_TRAMP 3
Old : C1:SUS-MC2_LOCKIN1_OSC_TRAMP 0
New : C1:SUS-MC2_LOCKIN1_OSC_TRAMP 3
After finishing the tuning of all 3 IMC optics, I have discovered that 27.5 Hz is a bad frequency to tune at: the Mc1/MC3 dewhtiening filters have a 28 Hz cutoff, so they all have slightly different phase shifts at 27-28 Hz due to the different poles due to tolerances in the capacitors (probably).
*Also, I am not able to get a real zero coupling through this method. There always is an orthogonal phase component that can't be cancelled by adjusting gains. On MC3, this is really bad and I don't know why.

Koji | Summary | BHD | "On why BH55 senses the LO phase, a finesse adventure of loss and residual DARM offsets" | This is interesting. With the FPMI, the DARM phase shift is enhanced by the cavity. Therefore, I suppose the effect on the BH55 is also going to be enhanced (i.e. a much smaller displacement offset causes a similar LO phase rotation).

Paco | Summary | BHD | "On why BH55 senses the LO phase, a finesse adventure of loss and residual DARM offsets" | [Paco, Yehonathan]
I took over the finesse calculations Yehonathan had set up for BHD. The notebook is here and for this post I focused on simulating what we might expect from our single RF vs dual RF sensors (55 MHz and 44 MHz respectively) in terms of LO phase control.
The configuration is simple, only MICH is included (no ETMs, no PRC, no SRC). The LO phase is changed by scanning LO1, the differential loss is changed by scanning the ITMXHR loss parameter (nominally at 25 ppm), and the microscopic DARM offset is changed by scanning the BS position by +- 6 nm.
Finesse estimates the sensor response by taking the demodulated sideband magnitude (BH55, BH44) with respect to a 1 Hz LO1 signal modulation. This can be done for a set of LO phase angles so as to get the nominal LO phase angle where the response is maximized.
I first replicated the plots from [elog17170] for the two sensors in question. This is just done as a sanity check and is shown in Attachment #1. This plot summarizes our expectation that the single RF sideband sensor should have a peak response to the LO phase around 90 deg away from the nominal BHD readout phase angle (0 deg in this plot). In contrast, the double RF demodulation scheme has a peak response around the nominal LO phase angle.
Attachment #2 looks at a family of similar plots representing differential loss changes between the two MICH arms. We tune this by changing the ITMX loss in finesse, and then repeat the calculation as described above. It seems that for the simple MICH, differential loss of ~ 10000 ppm does not impact the nominal LO phase angle where the responses are maximized for either sensor (note however that the response magnitude maybe changes for single RF sideband sensing at extremely high differential loss).
Finally, and most interestingly Attachment #3 looks at a family of similar plots representing a set of microscopic DARM offsets (+- 6 nm). This is tuned by changing the BS position ever so slightly, and the same calculation is repeated. In this case, the nominal LO phase angle does change, and it changes quite a lot for the single RF demod. It looks like this might be enough to explain how we can sense the LO phase angle with a single RF sideband, but I think the next interesting point would be to simulate the effect of contrast defect by changing the ITM RoCs (to scatter into HOMs) or the non-thermal ITM lenses (to probe the TEM00 contrast defect effect). Any comments / feedback at this point are welcome, as we move forward into other configurations where more serious thermal effects might be introduced (PRMI). |

Alex | Update | IMC | Dither Lines set on MC1, MC2, MC3 for the night | With Anchal's help, I have setup dither lines for Rana on MC1,2,3 that will be running overnight. The oscilations were set on MC1,2,3, oscillator screens.

These frequencies and amplitudes were set on LOCKIN1 for each MC1,2,3. The output filters matrix for MC1,2,3 was also updated to reflect the degree of freedom being tested: PITCH.
The frequencies were picked to avoid the dewhitening frequency: 28Hz, and the Bounce/Roll frequencies: 16 Hz & 24 Hz. Furthermore, decimal value frequencies were utilized to avoid the multiples of 1 Hz.
The oscilators were originally started at 1363480200 and will be turned off at 1363535157.
See attachment 1 for the plot of the power spectrum. This test is done to find the beam offset for pitch. |

yuta | Update | BHD | LO phase noise contribution in MICH BHD | [Paco, Yuta]
MICH was locked with balanced homodyne readout with LO phase locked using BH55_Q and BH44_Q.
It turned out that BH44_Q gives better LO phase in MICH configuration (in FPMI, BH55_Q is better; see 40m/17506).
LO phase noise seems to contribute to MICH sensitivity in 30-200 Hz region in BH55 case, and 30-100 Hz in BH44 case (this was not the case in FPMI BHD, see 40m/17392).
The mechanism for this coupling needs investigation.
MICH BHD sensing matrix:
- MICH BHD sensing matrix was measured when MICH is locked with AS55_Q and LO_PHASE is locked with BH55_Q or BH44_Q.
- MICH UGF was at around 50 Hz, and LO_PHASE UGF was at around 10 Hz.
- BHDC_DIFF had better sensitivity to MICH when LO_PHASE was locked with BH44_Q.
- BH44 component was not measured well.

MICH BHD locking:
- MICH lock with AS55_Q was handed over to BHD_DIFF using following ratio:
C1:LSC-PD_DOF_MTRX_3_4 = 1 (AS55_Q to MICH_A)
C1:LSC-PD_DOF_MTRX_4_34 = -1.34 (BHDC_DIFF to MICH_B, when BH55_Q is used)
C1:LSC-PD_DOF_MTRX_4_34 = 0.47 (BHDC_DIFF to MICH_B, when BH44_Q is used)
MICH BHD noise budget:
- FM2 of C1:CAL-MICH_CINV was updated to 1/1.4e9 = 7.14e-10 to use measured optical gain.
- Dark noise was measured at C1:CAL-MICH_W_OUT with PSL shutter closed, PD DOF matrix at various settings for various readout scheme.
- Attachment #1 shows MICH sensitivity with MICH locked using AS55_Q (green), BHD_DIFF under BH55_Q (blue), BHD_DIFF under BH44_Q (red). BH44 case gives the least noise due to larger optical gain. However, there are excess noise at around 100 Hz, when MICH is locked with BHD_DIFF. The excess noise (bump at around 50 Hz) was similar to what we saw in LO phase noise estimate (40m/17511).
- At low frequencies below ~30 Hz, the MICH sensitivity is probably limited by seismic noise, as it alignes with FPMI DARM sensitivity (orange curve; measured in 40m/17468).
- Attachemnt #2 and #3 show estimate of LO phase noise contribution to MICH sensitivity in BH55 case and BH44 case. The coupling was estimated by measuring a transfer fuction from BH55_Q/BH44_Q to MICH_W_OUT. As there was significant coherence in 30-200 Hz region in BH55 case, and 30-100 Hz in BH44 case, transfer function value in that regions was used to estimate the coupling.
- The coupling was estimated to be the following
2e-10 m/count for BH55_Q to MICH_W_OUT (0.035 m/m using BH55_Q calibration factor to LO1 motion of 1.76e8 counts/m)
2e-11 m/count for BH44_Q to MICH_W_OUT
- Diaggui file: /opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/Git/40m/measurements/LSC/MICH/MICH_Sensitivity_Live.xml
Next:
- Calibrate BH44_Q to LO1 motion
- Measure transfer function from LO1 motion to BHD_DIFF under BH44 and BH55
- Find out the cause of 50 Hz bump in LO phase noise
- Compare LO phase noise coupling with simulations |

Alex, Tomohiro | Update | IMC | Arm Cavity Noise injection with WFS1/2 PIT and YAW | Tomohiro and I performed some tests under Rana's guidance to find cross corelations between WFS1 and WFS2 output signals in both pitch and yaw. We performed this test to further understand the degree to which our output matrices have been diagonolized.
Seen in attachment 1 is our base level with no injected noise source. In each figure, we also have inlcuded the coherence plot which compares each control signal to the overalll YARM power signal.
Attachments 2-5 display our results for injecting noise into each control signal individually.
We found the following corelations for each respective test:
Control Signal with Noise |
Corelated signals (order) |
WFS1 PIT |
WFS1 YAW, WFS2PIT, WFS2 YAW (all equally corelated) |
WFS1 YAW |
WFS1 PIT, WFS2 YAW, WFS2 PIT (most to least) |
WFS2 PIT |
WFS1 PIT, WFS2 YAW, WFS1 YAW (most to least) |
WFS2 YAW |
WFS2 PIT, WFS1 YAW (all equally corelated) |
We judged our corelated signals by the peaks seen from out noise injection on the power spectrum as well as by their coherence at the same frequencies of our noise (20Hz-30Hz) compared to the overall power spectrum of YARM.
Performing this measurement was done using diaggui and awggui. The diaggui files for each test are saved at: "users/Templates/singleArmCal/ArmCavityNoise_230317_2_WFS1_PIT"
To properly fix each of the control signals to the same magnitude plotted for YARM output, we callibrated each plot using the settings seen in Attachment 7. First the units were changed on the plots to represent the true scale of each measurement:
We found that the ETMY actuation strength is 10.843e-9 / f^2 (from 17376) and used this to clibrate the plots to the nanometer scale. Next the gain was adjusted such that each plot would align over the YARM output when noise was injected onto it, setting a basis for all four measurements.
Finally, some filtering poles were added to the callibration for each plot such that it resembled that of the filters seen by the YARM ouput signal. (RXA: this is the 28 Hz ELP filter to simulate the dewhitening filters)
The measurements were taken with the settings seen in Attachment 8, and noise injected using the parameters seen in attachment 9.
RXA: Some edits/comments:
The noise was injected as band-limited random noise with a Normal distribution. We used noise rather than lines so as to capture the linear and bilinear noise contributions. In the case where the coupling is mostly bilinear, we would not expect to see much coherence.
The first attachment is a ASC noise budget for the single arm - in the high gain mode, the noise does not limit the noise as seen by the arm. Next is to see if its due to the MC dewhitening filters being on/off? |

Tomohiro | Update | IMC | Diagonalizing YAW output matrix using a different method | Purpose
- To adjust the components of the WFS2 column in the YAW output matrix.
- To check the value of the off-diagonal components of the WFS1 column.
Method
Alex, Anchal, and I used the same method in 40m/17504 to adjust the components of the WFS2 column. And we did the same step response test to check the value of the off-diagonal components in the YAW output matrix.
Used script & file
All the scripts & files are stored in /opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/Git/40m/scripts/MC/WFS/ directory.
- DiagnoalizatingMethod.ipynb: for adjusting the components and replacing the new output matrix,
- toggleWFSoffsets.py: for doing the step response test,
- IOO_WFS_YAW_STEP_RESPONSE_TEST.py: for analyzing the step response result.
Result
We changed the WFS2 column as follows
|
From |
To |
MC1 |
-1.3029 |
-1.8548 |
MC2 |
0.15206 |
-0.1357 |
MC3 |
0.92391 |
0.40158 |
We can successfully diagonalize the WFS2 column. The sum of the off-diagonal components is slightly reduced. However, WFS1 has worse diagonalization.
The same step response test should be performed on a different day to see if the results change. It is because the multiple causes could exist: the influence of the changed other columns, the long time drift, the day to day change, and so on. |

yuta | Update | BHD | LO phase noise measurements in ITMX single bounce, MICH and FPMI | [Anchal, Yuta]
We have measured LO phase noise in ITMX single bounce, simple MICH and FPMI configurations with LO phase locked with BH55 or BH44.
We found that BH55 and BH44 have almost exactly same noise in ITMX single bounce, but BH44 is noisier than BH55 in MICH and FPMI configurations.
In any case, LO phase can be locked within 0.1 rad RMS, so optical gain fluctuations in BHD_DIFF should be fine for BHD locking.
Method:
- We have locked ITMX single bounce vs LO, AS beam under MICH locked with AS55_Q vs LO, and AS beam under FPMI locked with REFL55 & AS55 vs LO, using BH55_Q or BH44_Q
- In each IFO configuration, we have minimized I phase to set RF demodulation phases for BH55 and BH44.
- In each IFO configuration, optical gain of BH55_Q and BH44_Q was measured by elliptic fit of X-Y plot for BH55_Q vs BHDC_A or BH44_Q vs BH55_Q.
- For each LO_PHASE lock, feedback gain was adjusted to set the UGF to around 50 Hz, and actuator used was LO1.
- LO_PHASE_IN1 was calibrated using the measured optical gain, and LO_PHASE_OUT was calibrated using LO1 actuator gain of 26.34e-9 /f^2 m/counts measured in 40m/17285.
- To convert meters in radians, 2*pi/lambda is used (which means dark fringe to dark fringe is pi).
- Below summarizes the result of RF demodulation phases and optical gains (whitening gains were 45 dB for BH55 and 39 dB for BH44). RF demod phases aligns well with previous measurement, but optical gain for BH44 seems higher by an order of magnitude compared with 40m/17478 (whitening gain changed??). Optical gain for BH55_Q is consistent with previous measurement in 40m/17506 (note the demodulation phase change).
LO_PHASE lock in ITMX single bounce
Demod phase Optical gain filter gain
BH55_Q -99.8 deg 7.6e9 counts/m -0.3
BH44_Q -6.5 deg 1.3e10 counts/m -0.15
LO_PHASE lock in MICH
Demod phase Optical gain filter gain
BH55_Q -67.7 deg 6.1e8 counts/m -3.9
BH44_Q -31.9 deg 8.5e8 counts/m -3.1
LO_PHASE lock in FPMI
Demod phase Optical gain filter gain
BH55_Q 35.7 deg 3.4e9 counts/m -0.65
BH44_Q -9.3 deg 4.3e10 4.3e9 counts/m -0.84 (Typo fixed on Apr 18, 2023 by YM)
Result:
- Attached are calibrated LO phase noise spectrum in different IFO configurations.
- In ITMX single bounce, LO phase noise estimated using BH55 and BH44 are almost equivalent, and LO phase noise in-loop is ~0.04 rad RMS.
- In MICH, LO phase noise estimated using BH44 is noisier than BH44 at around 20-60 Hz for some reason. LO phase noise in-loop is ~0.04 rad RMS for both cases.
- In FPMI, LO phase noise estimated using BH44 is noisier than BH44 above ~20 Hz for some reason. LO phase noise in-loop is ~0.03 rad RMS for both cases. Dark noise is not limiting the measurement at least below 1 kHz.
Jupyter notebook: /opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/Git/40m/measurements/BHD/BH55_BH44_Comparison.ipynb
Next:
- Lock MICH BHD with BH55 and BH44, and compare LO phase noise contributions to MICH sensitivity
- Investigate why BH44 is noisier than BH55 in MICH and FPMI (offsets? contrast defect? mode-matching?)
- Reduce 60 Hz + harmonics in BH55 and BH44 |

Tomohiro | Update | IMC | Diagonalizing YAW output matrix using a different method | Alex, Anchal, and I adjusted the number of the MC2-TRANS column in the YAW output matrix. We used the same method in 40m/17504 but the amplitude of oscillator for Lock In Amplifier is increased from 1 to 4.
The corrected numbers of the column in the output matrix is as follows:
|
MC2_TRANS |
MC1 |
-5.5196 |
MC2 |
-2.8778 |
MC3 |
-5.2232 |
We did the step response test for the corrected output matrix. The sum of off-diagonal terms was 0.62, which is the minimum value. Attachment 1 is the step response test result. From the figure, the reduction of the sum is because the column MC2_TRANS can diagonalize better. We can find out the property from Attachment 2. |

Anchal | Update | IMC | IMC WFS aligned and offsets reset | The WFS loops were not maximizing the IMC transmission. The transmission counts remained stuck at around 12500 counts. The reflection DCMON from IMC had reached above 0.35 while nominally it had been around 0.2. So today, I manuaaly aligned the IMC to best transmission and lowest reflection, then unlocked IMC and reset the offsets on WFS1 and WFS2 RF readouts. After the offsets were changed, the error singals were fluctuating around 0 in best algined state. Then turning on the WFS loops made the transmissions slighlty higher to 13250 counts. |

Anchal | Update | IMC | Turned on 6:3lead FM7 on WFS1 and WFS2 YAW loops | I realized that for more phase margin, rana added 6:3lead filter on WFS PIT loops. Since we have increased the UGF on YAW loops too, I turned these on the YAW loops as well. The loops remain stable unlike with the previous matrix. Attachment 1 is the repeat of teh emasurement done by rana earlier but with the new matrix and updated gains in PIT loops. The dark green traces are the references from last measurment with higher gain and HEPA off. The remainging colored traces were measured today. |

yuta | Update | BHD | FPMI BHD sensing matrix measurement with individual lines | FPMI BHD sensing matrix was measured by an updated method with updated RF demodulation phases for REFL55 and AS55.
Now audio demodulation phase for CARM components is 90 deg to make the sign correct.
Also, oscillators are turned on one by one to reduce contamination between DoFs (especially between MICH and CARM).
These helped a lot in reducing errors.

- AS55_Q now has 70% more gain to DARM for some reason (see 40m/17478). Whitening gain haven't changed from 24 dB.
- There's still some room to tune AS55 RF demodulation phase to maximize DARM response.
- CARM to REFL55_Q is 100 times smaller than that to REFL55_I; this is good.
- There's still some room to tune BH55 RF demodulation phase to maximize LO1 response.
- BH44 doesn't have much response to LO1, probably because LO_PHASE is locked with orthogonal BH55.

Alex | Update | IMC | Step Response of newly diagonalizing YAW output matrix | From the work that Anchal has completed for diagnolizing the YAW ouput matrix, a step response was taken of this new matrix using our previous methodolgies and the following results:
The step response can be seen plotted in attachment 1. The off diagonal terms of this new matrix sum to 1.24, which is a large decrease from the current matrix and the matrices that were tested from our previous step responses.
Tomohiro and I are now currently working futher to configure the UGF's for YAW given this new output matrix.
UPDATE:
Tomohiro and I have completed testing the YAW Sensor outputs with broadband noise injection and have confirmed that gains currently set on each filter module (which is 1.0 for WFS1, WFS2, and MC Trans) provides us with adequate UGF's. As seen bellow in attachment 2-3, WFS1 and WFS2 have UGF's between 2 and 3 Hz. MC Trans can be seen in attachment 4 and has been confirmed to have a UGF around 0.1 Hz.
Finally, attachment 5 displays the off diagnolized sums and uncertainties for each of our previous step response results and the newest result (labeled "new") for Anchal's OUTPUT YAW matrix. The first graph in blue displays the overall sum and uncertainty related to each step response taken. Then in the following 3 plots, the sum's and uncertaintes for each sensor are displayed individually for each step response test.
For reference:
New: corresponds to Anchal's YAW OUPUT MATRIX
D0: refers to the previously implemented matrix, prior to any testint or updates
D1: refers to the matrix that was computed based off of the first test Tomohiro and I performed
D2: refers to the matrix computed as a secondary result from D1. This matrix was thought to provide a lower off diagonal sum, but did not.
This thoroughly displays our results such that the newly computed matrix from Anchal is much more diagnolized then that of the step response matrices Tomohiro and I have computed.

Anchal | Update | IMC | Diagonalizing YAW output matrix using a different method | I tried a different method today to see if it works. Following are the steps:
- Run WFS relief.
- Turn off the WFS loops.
- Calculate the effective current YAW matrix by transferring C1:IOO-MC#_YAW_GAIN to respective rows of the matrix read from C1:IOO-OUTMATRIX_Y. No need to change the matrix itself.
- This step should not be required. We should move these gains to the matrices as soon as we can.
- Put in the first column (corresponds to WFS1_YAW controller output) of this effective current YAW matrix to C1:IOO-LKIN_OUT_MTRX_4_1, C1:IOO-LKIN_OUT_MTRX_5_1, C1:IOO-LKIN_OUT_MTRX_6_1.
- This is the output matrix of LOCKIN in WFS screens.
- We are trying to actuate on what we think only affects WFS1_YAW and see if it is crosscoupled to WFS2_YAW or MC2_TRANS.
- Then we can cancel coupling to the other two sensors by changing our couple vector.
- Turn on locking at 0.5 Hz with gain 1.
- Turn on BLP0.3 filter module. This is a 8th order 0.3 Hz butterworth filter.
- Adjust phases to get all signal in the I quadratures.
- Using ratio of C1:IOO-WFS_LKIN_I5_OUT16 to C1:IOO-WFS_LKIN_I4_OUTPUT, subtract or add this much factor of the WFS2_YAW column (the second column) of the effective YAW matrix to the column that is put in the LOCKIN output matrix.
- I was able to subtract to less than 10% cross coupling with the intial matrix I started with.
- Repeat until no cross-coupling is seen between WFS1_YAW and WFS2_YAW.
- Repeat the above steps for WFS2_YAW column by putting that into the LOCKIN output matrix. Use the column calculated in last step for adding or subtracting WFS1 actuation.
- I was able to make WFS2 column very clean with less than 1% measurable crosscoupling to other sensors.
- I repeated the step for WFS1 column again to remove the cross coupling to WFS2 further to less than 1%.
- For doing the above steps for MC2_TRANS column, the initial effective matrix column was very bad. The outputs were higher in WFS1 and WFS2 then MC2_TRANS output itself.
- So I made the first guess by taking a cross-product between the obtained WFS1_YAW and WFS2_YAW columns estimated earleir.
- Then I repeated the above steps to minimize coupling to WFS1 or WFS2 sensors to less than 10% of MC2_TRANS.
- THe three column vectors obtained represent the new outpute YAW matrix. I removed the normalization that would be applied by C1:IOO-MC#_YAW filter gains from the rows of this amtrix to get the output matrix that can be put into C1:IOO-OUTMATRIX_Y
Once this matrix was in, I quickly tested it by closing the loop and making gain sign flips if required. Then I took quick swept sine transfer functions to estimate UGFs and scaled the columns of the output matrix to get UGF of 2.5 Hs for WFS1_YAW and WFS2_YAW loops and 0.1 Hz for MC2_TRANS YAW loop when all filter gains are 1 and overall gain C1:IOO-WFS_GAIN is 4. See attached plots.
Old matrix:
-4.094 , -3.0383 , 34.0917
-0.1259 , 0.27008, -16.081
-7.1811 , 0.74271, 28.9458
This was used with gains: 0.5 for WFS1_YAW loop, 0.6 for WFS2_YAW loop and 0.3 for MC2_TRANS_YAW loop.
New matrix:
-1.48948, -1.3029 , -4.93096
-0.05839, 0.15206, -3.66245
-2.82285, 0.92391, -4.68009
All loop gains 1.

Tomohiro | Update | IMC | Step response test on MC1, MC2, and MC3 YAW | Summary
- We compared the new output matrix with old one by the step response test.
- We focused on the off-diagonal components of the step response result to compare the output matrix.
- We found that the old one is relatively good to WFS1/2 and MC2_TRANS whereas the new one is useful only to WFS1.
- Also we found that the new output matrix made from the sensing matrix was not significantly better than the original one.
Purpose
Alex, Anchal, and I did the experiment to find out the better output matrix. We got the new output matrix from the step response test in 40m/17500, so we checked whether the output matrix is good or not.
Theory
We used the following method to check the output matrix. In the previous step response test, we applied the step offset to ``ExciteIn'' points, and measure the step response at ``SensOut'' points. These points are defined in Attatchment 4. From the test, we got the matrix . Thus, we derived the new output matrix from taking the inverse of , . If the new output matrix is well derived, the matrix can diagonalize the product of and , , where is the identity matrix. can be measured by the step response test from ``SensIn'' to ``SensOut.'' Therefore we checked the output matrix by measuring . We call the measured matrix as a sensing matrix.
To evaluate that is diagonalized, we computed the sum of the absolute values of the off-diagonal components in 

Note that each column of the matrix was normalized by its diagonal component.
We tried to find out the better output matrix as the following method. We created new output matrix from , and did the same step response test with . Then we got the new sensing matrix . We computed the sum of the absolute values of the off-diagonal components in , . We can get the relation if is better than . Therefore we compared with .
Note: If and have the relation , the output matrix will get better and better.
We also did the step response test with , which is defined as the output matrix now used. Then we compare with .
Method
Before doing each step response test, we did the following processes:
- MC WFS relief for 60 secs with closed loops,
- turn off the WFS servo,
- turn off all the filters (WFS1/2: FM3, 4, 6; MC2-TRANS: FM1, 3, 4, 6),
- change the output matrix,
- set all the gain as unity,
- adjust each step offset.
We used the python script, toggleWFSoffsets.py, for testing the step response. The script is stored in /opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/Git/40m/scripts/MC/WFS/. The time appling each step offset is set as 120 secs. are specifically the following matrix:

Note: is different from [-0.188, -0.009, ...] in 40m/17500 because the previous calculation had a mistake.
The step response data is analyzed for making plot and calculating and by the python script, /opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/Git/40m/scripts/MC/WFS/IOO_WFS_YAW_RESPONSE_TEST_100323.ipynb.
Result
The step response results for are represented in Attachment 1, 2, 3, respectively. In each plot, upper left shows all the data for WFS1 (solid green), WFS2 (solid blue), and MC2_TRANS (solid brown). Also upper right, lower left, and lower right shows the result of WFS1, WFS2, and MC2_TRANS, respectively. The plots except for the upper left have the applied step offset drawed by dashed line. The three step offsets were applied in the order of WFS1 (dashed green in the upper right), WFS2 (dashed blue in the lower left), and MC2_TRANS (dashed brown in the lower right). The high-frequency components of all the plots are removed with a second-order Butterworth low-pass filter and then plotted. Dotted line and its surrounding area show the mean value for each step response or existing offset without the step offset, and its standard deviation, respectively.
We summarize each plot:
The matrix of is written from Attachment 1:

Focusing on each column in and the plot, only the step response for WFS1 is well diagonalized. The result of is . Note that all the sign of the step offset in Attachment 1 is negative because we set each gain of the filter as -1.
The matrix of is written from Attachment 2:

The output matrix has worse normalization to WFS1 than from comparing with . also gets worse value than : .
The matrix of is written from Attachment 3:

Although has relatively better normalization to WFS1 and 2 than , it is characterized by a large overall error. has minimum value with relatively large uncertainty: .
Discussion
We compare each value , which is plotted in the left of Attachment 5. From the figure, we can find and agree within the margin of error, and is significantly smaller than and . Also we compare focusing on WFS1 column shown in the right of Attachment 5. have almost the same value, and has slightly larger value than other. This result shows is relatively good to WFS1/2 and MC2_TRANS whereas is useful only to WFS1. |

The changes made are:
Updated the script to allow for toggling step responses on either optics or sensors (default = optics), chosen by user
The script orignally asked user to make any last changes to the offsets before hitting enter to run without displaying the new changes.
Now the script checks for changes made by the user to the offsets and displays them if detected. If no changes are made, the code starts running the steps.

Alex | Update | IMC | Step response test on MC1, MC2, and MC3 YAW | Tomohiro, Anchal and I completed the following processs for acquiring a new Output Yaw matrix for the "C1IOO_WFS_OUTMATRIX".
To did this by following the same process in 17493 but instead of adding our offsets in the WFS1, WFS2 and MC Trans filter banks, offsets were added at the end of the feedback loop at the optics, MC1, MC2 and MC3 YAW.
Optimal offset values were found such that the offset change did not disrupt the output WFS transmission signal by more than about a one thousand counts. Each limit was set to come close to this limit.
Our final offset values were:
Optic |
Offset Value
|
MC1 |
55 |
MC2 |
15 |
MC3 |
35 |
The step response was than observed in Diaggui, but the entire 800 s run was unable to be viewed at once. We then utilized our python script from the previous step response data that we took to develop the following:
The measured response from stepping the optics was:

*The values in this matrix represent the number of counts/offset count. Thus all ovalues found from the step response were divided by the number of counts on each offset.
To find the new yaw matrix, we then take the inverse of the step response output matrix to get:

The results from the step response may also be seen graphically in attachment 1. The first plot shows all 3 response signals. Then each following plot shows the individual signals and the step responses overlayed for each one.
The plots also include horizontal lines that represent the average for the stepped signals and the average of the signal at rest along with shading for their associated uncertainties.
This was then tested in C1IOO_WFS_BASIS Yaw matrix, and at first did not work well. The WFS1 Yaw output would rail toward the limits. To fix this, the sign of the gain was flipped (from 0.5 to -0.5) which seemed to solve this issue.
This was then transmitted to the matrix to give:

This did not solve all issues, the overall ouput signals from the WFS filters still seemed to have large fluctuations. I then began adjusting the gains of the WFS1, WFS2 and MC Trans yaw output filters and achieved much steadier signals.
The following table describes the current best gain valuse for our Yaw matrix:
Sensor |
Gain Value |
WFS1 YAW |
5.94 |
WFS2 YAW |
6.44 |
MC TRANS YAW |
1.9 |
The results from our found matrix and gain changes can be seen on the left of attachement 2 that displays the ouputs on the Error Signal Monitor. The original output yaw matrix signals can be seen on the right hand side. There is work to still be done on adressing these issues, but overall this may be improved by some additional changes in the gains on each channel. |

Tomohiro | Update | IMC | Step response test on WFS 1, 2 and MC2_TRANS YAW | Summary
- We do the step responce test on WFS 1, 2 and MC2_TRANS YAW for correcting the output matrix.
- We add each offset value to each YAW actuator in IMC, and measure the time-series of the signals.
- From the input offset value and the output values, we get the values in the output matrix.
Purpose
The purpose of the measurement is to correct the values in the output matrix between YAW actuator and YAW signals of WFS and MC2_TRANS.
Method
Alex, Anchal, and I did the following measurement. The method follows to the previous measurement held by Anchal in 40m/17311. Before we did the experiment, we took these actions.
- We reliefed MC SUS ASC Input values to zero
- We made the overall WFS gain to zero in C1IOO_WFS_MASTER window.
- We turned off (0; 0.8) FM3 filter of servo section in WFS1, 2_YAW and MC2_TRANS_YAW.
- We checked the ramp time is set as 2 s.
We set every offset value by monitoring the change in WFS and MC2 YAW signals due to the offset. The monitoring points are WFS1_IY_DQ, WFS2_IY_DQ, and MC_TRANS_Y_DQ. We got the offset values as listed. We also monitored TRANS_SUMFILT_OUTPUT because we check the transmitted light changes.
|

Transmitted light |
WFS1_YAW |

about 10 % reduction |
WFS2_YAW |
7,000 |
almost nothing |
MC2_TRANS_YAW |
7,000 |
about 10 % reduction |
We used the python script toggleWFSoffsets.py to add the offset separately. The script is in /opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/Git/40m/scripts/MC/WFS/. The averaging time is set as 120 s to reduce the influence of the dominant fluctuation by factor of 1/100. The dominant fluctuation has the frequency around 1 Hz.
For obtaining the time-series datas and caluclating the mean values of the changed WFS and MC2 YAW signals due to every offset, we created new python script named IOO_WFS_YAW_STEP_RESPONSE_TEST.py, which is saved in /opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/Git/40m/scripts/MC/WFS/. The script uses the getdata function in cdsutils to get time-series data referring to GPS time.
We picked out a portion of the datas for step responce results. The selected time is [20 s, 120 s], [260 s, 360 s], and [500 s, 600 s]. Each time datas are averaged. The datas also have background offset, so the datas of time [140 s, 240 s], [380 s, 480 s], and [620 s, 720 s] are used to calculate the average of the background offset. The step responce results are obtained by the differential between the averaged datas in the picked out time and that of the background offset. And the results are normalized by the offset values.
The results make the matrix from injection points to measured points. The injection points are WFS1, 2_YAW and MC2_TRANS_YAW, thus the matrix is not the output matrix from the injection points to MC1, 2, 3_YAW. We get new output matrix by multiplying the inversed result matrix and the current output matrix.
Result
The Attachment 1 plots the time-series datas. For visibility and less file size, the figure is drawn with a reduced number of samples filtered by 2nd order Butterworth filter. We referenced to /measurements/AWS/YARM_WFS_DC_Sensitng_Matrix_New.ipynb to draw the figure.
The new output matrix is written here.


We temporarily replaced the new matrix from the current one. The loop was still stable and the matrix worked well. To know whether the matrix properly works or not, we will test the same step response to the new matrix. We will confirm that the measured matrix is diagonalized. |

Paco | Summary | BHD | LO phase POS noise coupling - I | I tried some LO PHASE noise coupling measurements today. With MICH locked using AS55_Q, I control the LO phase using the single RF (BH55_Q) or double RF (BH44_Q) demodulation error signals. The calibrated error and control points for single RF sideband sensing are shown in Attachment #1. In either case feedback loop is closed using FM5, FM8 first with a gain of 1.5 and then a "boost" using FM4. The actuation point is LO1 POS and the UGF was measured to be ~ 35 Hz for both.
** While doing this measurement, I noticed our LO_PHASE dark noise is significantly contributing 180 Hz, 300 Hz and other high line harmonics into the control signal rms so that may be something to look into soon.
I first thought I could use the remaining sensor to measure the noise coupling (e.g. BH44 locks LO phase and BH55 senses injected noise or viceversa), but these two sensing schemes give two different LO phase sensitivities so I decided to just use the calibrated control signals.
-- Noise coupling for BH55_Q --
After locking the LO_PHASE I inject 2 Hz wide uniform noise into three different frequency bands *within the control bandwidth* through C1:SUS-LO2_LSC_EXC, C1:SUS-AS1_LSC_EXC, and C1:SUS-AS4_LSC_EXC. The injected noise settings are captured by Attachment #2 (the screenshot of the excitation settings in diaggui).
I read back the calibrated C1:HPC-LO_PHASE_OUT_DQ representing the true LO_PHASE noise within the control bandwidth and also calibrate the injected noise spectra with the help of the actuation coefficients in [elog40m:17274]. The result is summarized in Attachment #3.
The diaggui template and data for this measurement are saved under /opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/Git/40m/measurements/BHD/BH55Q_NoiseCoupling.xml
-- Noise coupling for BH44_Q --
I repeat the same procedure as above and the injected noise settings, and the result is summarized in Attachment #4.
The diaggui template and data for this measurement are saved under /opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/Git/40m/measurements/BHD/BH44Q_NoiseCoupling.xml
- Discussion -
It seems that noise injected along the AS beam path (AS1-AS4 dither) couples more into the control point of the LO phase. I also seem to be off in terms of calibrating the noise excitation (even though I scaled using the suspension actuation from [elog40m:17274]. General feedback on the methods used for this measurement are welcome of course.
- Next steps -
- Extend this to single RF + audio dither scheme and double audio dither schemes (although it's hard because the control bandwidth is pretty low already)
- Investigate line noise in RFPD + demod chain (present on the dark noise).
- Investigate other more interesting noise couplings, e.g. angular degrees of freedom, RIN, laser freq noise, etc...
- Repeat under more relevant IFO configurations (e.g. FPMI) |

Tomohiro | Update | IMC | Transfer Function for IMC mirrors using appropriately filtered noise | Summary
- Alex, Anchal, and I measure the open-loop transfer function for WFS and MC2_TRANS signal.
- We utilize Fourier transform of appropriately filtered Gaussian noise to obtain the transfer function.
- With appropriate frequency-dependant noise and appropriate overall gain, the transfer function at lower frequency around 1 Hz can be roughly measured in shorter time and with a narrower resolution than those of the swept sine.
Purpose
The purpose is to roughly measure the open-loop transfer function in shorter time and with a narrower resolution. The transfer function can usually be obtained the following process. We measure two points before (IN1) and after (IN2) the excitation signal injection point. We can get the transfer function by dividing IN1 signal by IN2 signal. However, this method has some difficulties: longer time to finish one measurement in lower frequency and less measuring points. These are because the frequency of excitation signal is fixed for every measuring point. The ordinary method is not suitable for rough measurement. Therefore, we try to utilize frequency-dependant noise for measuring the transfer function (Rana teaches us the method).
Method
We utilize the Gaussian noise instead of the fixed sine wave. We inject the noise, which is properly filtered, into the exciting point (such as C1:IOO-MC2_TRANS_YAW_EXC in C1IOO_WFS_MASTER window), and measure two signals in the points IN1 and IN2. The two signals are Fourier transformed. And we obtain the transfer function by dividing the transformed signal IN1 by that of IN2.
To get good SNR, the frequency dependence of the injecting noise signal is important. We use the awggui command to create the appropriately filtered noise. We decide the dependence from the coherence between the IN1 signal and the excitation signal. The coherence around 1 shows the good SNR. So the dependence is adjusted so that the coherence approaches 1 in the observation frequency range. Attachment 1 shows the frequency dependence of the filter. We cut the gain below 0.1 Hz and above 10 Hz to limit frequency range, and use Zero-Pole gain to treat the influence of the mirrors' suspension in the frequency range. The filter we used is
- cheby1("BandPass", 6, 2, 0.1, 10)
- zpk([3], [0.3], 1, "n")
- zpk([0.375 + i*0.649519; 0.375 - i*0.649519], [0.75; 2.5 + i*14.7902; 2.5 - i*14.7902], 1, "n")gain(4.46889)
- zpk([13], [3], 1, "n")gain(1.05099)
The file is saved in /users/Templates/MC/wfsTFs/WFS_noise_injection_profile-230302, but the saved file loses some filter information... So we write all the filters above.
Note: The noise filter has a ripple around the cutoff frequency. It comes from cheby1. Chebyshev Type 1 filter can drop the gain rapidly but has the ripple around the cutoff frequency.
Longer averaging time is also important to get the better SNR. The time is estimated from the resolution frequency and overwrap of the time-series data. We set the resolution as 0.01 Hz and the overwrap as 50 %, so the 10 times averaging takes about 8 minutes. In contrast, it takes about 2 hours if we measure 10 cycles of sine wave for every frequency with the ordinary transfer function measurement. The method of using the noise signal can inject multiple frequencies simultaneously into the excitation points, and can reduce the total measuring time.
We use the diaggui command for measuring the transfer function. Fourier Tools in Measurement tab translates the time-series signals, and the transfer function is obtained by Graph, Transfer function, in Result tab. Fig 2 is an example. The settings are saved, for example, in /users/Templates/MC/wfsTFs/MC2-TRANS_YAW_230302.xml.
In every measurement, we inject the noise into every excitation point of WFS1, 2 and MC2_TRANS, and PIT and YAW, and take every transfer function. We change overall gain of the filter in every measurement. The values are listed as follows.
Note: The gain of the transfer function is changed from 0.7 to 21 in the WFS1_PIT case only. The value of the case is much bigger than other measurements. After the experiment, the gain is put back.

Result
We show some results (YAW of WFS1, 2, and MC2_TRANS) as an example. The MC2_TRANS_YAW data only has structures around 3 Hz and 7 Hz shown in Attachment 2. The coherence of all measurements in the frequency range [0.1 Hz, 10 Hz] is around 1 except for the pendulum frequency of IMC mirrors. All the results have similar trend, which is low-pass like frequency dependence and has resonant of the pendulum. The trend is also obtained in the previous measurement using the ordinary method such as 40m/17486 and 40m/17472.
Discussion
Phase margin result for every measurement is listed. MC2_PIT data is 'N/A' because the transfer function does not exceed 0 dB at the observation frequency range. The phase margin values except for WFS1_PIT case are small, that is, the servos are nearly unstable. In WFS1_PIT, the phase margin is larger than other data because we increase the overall gain of the loop from 0.7 to 21 during measurement. This indicates the overall gain of the loop should be increased.

The pendulum resonance reduces the coherence. The coherence shows the signal relevance at the excitation point (input) and the measurement point (output). We can estimate whether the injecting signal is buried by background noise. The noise filter is not optimized yet, and we use the same filter for all the measurements. It causes the reduction of the coherence around the pendulum resonance. To increase the coherence and take better measurement, we have to optimize the frequency-dependance of the noise filter and increase averaging times for every measurement.
Only in the case of MC2_TRANS_YAW, the sudden gain changes exist around 3 Hz and 7 Hz. The sudden change is small peak at 3 Hz and large dip at 7 Hz. The result in 40m/5928 has a structure at 3 Hz, but we cannot find the structure at 7 Hz in the past entry... But both sudden changes do not make the loop unstable because the gain at the frequencies are smaller than 0 dB. We will check the detail and the origin.
In Future
- The overall open-loop gain should be increased.
- If necessary, we have to optimize the noise filter for every measurement.
- If necessary, we will check the detail and the origin of the sudden gain changes around 3 Hz and 7 Hz in MC2_TRANS_YAW.

Paco | Update | SUS | LO1 dewhitening | We added the DB9 short connectors to all coil drivers in the BHD suspensions and updated FM9-FM10 for LO1, LO2, AS1, AS4, SR2, PR2 and PR3 to match the work on LO1 yesterday. We then locked the LO phase using BH55 and took noise spectra for the error and control points; Attachment #1 shows the comparison before and after these changes were made. |

Paco | Update | SUS | LO1 dewhitening | [Paco, Anchal]
Today we invested some time in the DW filters for LO1 supension. We discovered that the binary DW enable/disable channels were not connected, and we had basically postponed testing this final bit on the chain of new SUS electronics since the upgrade took place. A quick noise spectrum of error and control points (uncalibrated) show that outside of the ~ 40 Hz control bandwidht, the LO phase noise rms is dominated by line noise (mostly 180 Hz) (Attachment #1).
We checked the BIO inputs, but failed to make them work from the c1su2 model and Anchal spotted an error in the model; so maybe to speed up the proper dewhitening tests, we override the acromag enabling BIO interface and just short the coil driver BI to always enable the Analog DW filter. Then, using the measured DW transfer function with z = [130 + 0j; 233+0j], p=[10+0j; 2845+0j], k=2.0, we corrected the FM9 and FM10 in the coil outputs (this is different from the other DW filters). Today we just did this for LO1, but the next step is to replicate this for the other BHD SOS so that we have a consistent test.
So for now, the LO1 coil drivers at 1Y0 have shorted binary inputs to enable watchdog + Analog dewhitening filters. This needs to happen on LO2, AS1 and AS4, and then the noise spectra should be measured again. |

Alex | Update | IMC | Transfer Function for IMC mirrors using sine sweep | The following work has been done by Tomohiro, Anchal and I:
To acquire the transfer functions for each of the IMC mirrors, we utilized diaggui, the CDS Diagnostic Test tool. We would like to measure the open loop transfer function, which is the ratio of In1 and In2, corresponding to before and after the injection point of the excitation signal.
A sinusoidal excitation signal was swept from 0,2 Hz to 5 Hz and includes 11 data points from an average of 10 cylcles per point.
NOTE: the WFS gain must be adjusted from 1.0 to 4.0 for these measurements (this is the slider underneath the "Turn WFS ON/OFF" button in C1:IOO_WFS_MASTER.
For the three sets of data taken for Pitch in WFS1, WFS2, and MC2 Trans, the amplitude of the excitation wave was 30,000.
In each measurement, the injection point is "C1:IOO-X_EXCMON", where X is the WFS or MC2 + Pitch or Yaw.
We will be conculding our measurements tomorrow and will report the findings for YAW in WFS1, WFS2, and MC Trans2. |

Tomohiro | Update | IMC | Angular actuation calibration for IMC mirrors using AC sine wave | Alex, Anchal, and I did the following experiment to obtain calibration constants by oscillating IMC mirrors.
Theory
In previous experiment, we measured transmission counts at some offset values, and fitted the curve in order to get the curvature of transmitted power at MC2. In this time, we use not offset but AC oscillation to get the curvature .
The shape of the transmitted power is quadratic with respect to the tilt of each mirror:

Here is the parameter including the tilt of each mirror, and is the signal of the transmitted power at MC2. Oscillating the mirror shows that has a time-dependance using an angular frequency , an initial phase , and an amplitude . What we want to get is the curvature of the quadratic function, that is, the coefficient . So we focus on the frequency-doubled term. By substituting to , we get the time-dependent 
.
We can get value as by multipling and taking time average. This is the same as used in 16125 by Anchal when the unit of is cts.
Method
Before the experiment, we changed some settings
- Turn off servo in the WFS servo,
- Turn off limits in MC SUS ASC inputs,
- Turn off ELP28 FH6 in MC2 Damp Filter.
After the experiment, we restored all the changed settings.
We decided the oscillation frequency, 27.25 Hz and 37 Hz, by monitoring the background PSD at MC2. But we totally took the time-dependent datas using 37 Hz because the pole frequency of some filters is around 27.25 Hz. We used python script that Alex wrote (MC_TRANS_SUM_PLOTS.ipynb, URL: /opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/Git/40m/measurements/IMC) for taking the datas. We took each data by oscillating PIT or YAW of each mirror in IMC. Measuring time was set as 10 s. The time is longer than the 100 times of 1/37 Hz. Oscillating amplitude is tabled below.

- How can we treat error of
?
- What is the unit of
? and How much value is it? If the unit of is cts, we can use each oscillating amplitude.
In this time, we use the error of as the quadrature component. And we use as the oscillating amplitude as listed above.
Result
The result is shown in the table.

Comparing with the Anchal's result, we get much smaller error and different order... We have to reconsider the calculation method. |

Alex | Configuration | ASC | IOO MC PIT/YAW gain change | The following changes were made to the WFS MASTER IMC Pitch and Yaw gains:
Gain values for the pitch and yaw on MC1, MC2, and MC3 filters on the SUS ASC inputs have been carried over to the WFS MASTER output filters.
This was done such that Tomohiro and I could take AC measurements at an oscillation freq of 77 Hz on the pitch and yaw mirrors, while being sure that the amplitude of the AC signal being applied to each mirror is the same. The filters on the WFS output will have gains changed from 1.0 to the previously mentioned calibration values described in ELOG 17481.
The values calculated for each filter were inverses of the callibration constants. The filters at the SUS ASC inputs were modified to read gain values of 1.0 again.
See the table bellow for the values passed to each filter.
In summary:
originally IOO-MC1,2,3_PIT/YAW_GAIN = 1.0. Now:
MC1,2,3_ASCPIT/ASCYAW_GAIN >> IOO-MC1,2,3_PIT/YAW_GAIN
IOO-MC1,2,3_PIT/YAW_GAIN >> 1.0 |

JC | Update | General | Large Optical Table Movement Solidworks | I sketched up the first encounter we will have when moving the optical table out. I'm assuming the table has already been turned onto its side. Next will be manuevering the table into the aisle along X-Arm. Solidworks' "Move Component" feature always me to move the table and see collisions. The feature stops the component from dragging and highlights the two faces which have made contact. I have not yet gotten to take the dimensions of the MC2 chamber and table, this will bethe tightest spot, so I want to get precise measurements. Though, it looks like we wont have any issues getting the table into the aisle. Atachment #1 is a top view that shows we have clearence, ~5 -7.5 in on both sides, and attachment #2 is a sectional view to show a clear pathway for pulling the table into the aisle.

Tomohiro | Summary | IMC | Updated angular actuation calibration for IMC mirrors | Alex, Anchal, and I did the following to make updated angular actuation calibration for IMC mirrors. This is the revised version of Anchal's: 40m/16125.
In order to make the calibration formulas, we consider a matrix : connecting displacements and rotations of the IMC's beam waist to PIT and YAW rotations of every mirror

The parameters used in the above equation are listed in the next table.

are the flat mirrors and is the curved mirror in IMC. Components in are refered from F. Kawazoe+ 2011 (doi:
10.1088/2040-8978/13/5/055504). In the paper, displacement and/or rotation of the beam parameters obtained from the PIT and YAW of each mirror are obtained not by but by common or differential rotation of both two flat mirrors . Therefore, we divide into two parts (relation ):
: relation between the beam parameters and the PIT and YAW rotation with 


is represented by revewing F. Kawazoe+ (2011):

Here we use as RoC of , as height from the shorter side of the isoscele triangle, and as half-long length of the shorter side. Intuitive discussion about the components are written in the last of the log.
Transmitted power is reduced by the small displacement and/or the small rotation of the beam axis, and can be represented by the Gaussian factor. It is described in /users/OLD/kakeru/oplev_calibration/oplev.pdf by Takahashi-san:

where is the small displacement of the beam waist. It corresponds to . is beam waist diameter inside IMC.

where is the small rotation of the beam axis. It corresponds to . is divergence angle of the beam and is written by and wavelength of laser 

Total power reduction is measured by multiplied gaussian factor of the displacement and the rotation. We can obtain the calibration formulas with summed reduction Gaussian factor

where is the vector of the PIT and YAW rotation . are the calibration fomulas of PIT and YAW in 40m/16125 defined by Anchal, respectively, and have a unit of . Every calibration fomula is expressed as follows:


We intuitively describe how to obtain the components in . The detail is discussed in F. Kawazoe+ (2011).
: 2-flat mirrors rotate with differential YAW 
When the 2-flat mirrors rotate, the shape of the isoscele triangle is thick, that is, the beam waist does not rotate but slightly displaces from its original one. Considering that the longer side of the triangle are almost perpendicular to the shorter side and , can be obtained by focusing on the right triangle shown in the following picture

: 2-flat mirrors rotate with common YAW 
From , new triangle beam line is very similar to the isoscele triangle by rotating from original one. So is approximated to , but actually the new one is breaked its symmetry. The result becomes as follows

: curved mirror rotates by 
It is similar to the case of . But the pivot to rotate the triangle is near than the case , so has bigger factor than that of 

: curved mirror rotates by 
It is completely the same as the discussion of linear cavity which has flat end mirror and curved input mirror.

: 2-flat mirrors rotate with common PIT 
It is also the same as the linear one except that 2-flat mirrors are angled by 45 degrees. Angled 45 degrees reduce the effective rotation by factor of . The detail is discussed in A. Freise (2010).

: 2-flat mirrors rotate with differential PIT
The differential rotation with the effect of directly reflects to the PIT rotation of the beam

Alex | Summary | IMC | Updated angular actuation calibration for IMC mirrors | Also reply to: 40m/17352
Tomohiro, Anchal, and I did the following to make updates to the calibration constants for pitch and yaw on MC1, MC2 and MC3.
To acquire the data used for fitting a curve respective to the change in counts per change in mirror pitch and yaw, we utilized some code that Anchal has already developed.
The scripts used to take time averaged data points of the IMC mirrors can be found by entering the command $ s into a terminal window to enter the scripts folder. Then enter the path "SUS/angActCal"
The following scripts will be found there to be used for this experiment:
angActCal.py & parabolaFit.py
To take data we used the angActCal.py function with set values for the time averaging = 5 s, settle time = 5 s, and adjusted the offset such that we would acquire approximately 20 data points given our ASC Bias limits. We defined the limits for each plot based on where the transmission fall off from the maximum value reached an average range of 10,000 counts.
The "readChannel" for each was the "C1:IOO-MC_TRANS_SUMFILT_OUTPUT" and can be found from the site map at IOO>Lock MC> see MC2_TRANS
The adjustment channels for Pitch and yaw on each IMC mirror were entered as the offset value found in the IMC screen at ALIGNMENT OFFSETS > BIASPIT/BIASYAW > OFFSET
For the code to work, the offset switch must be turned on. parabolaFit.py
The data from MC1, MC2, and MC3 for pitch and yaw was saved to individual text files which were then entered into the parabolaFit.py function to get the results seen in attachment 1 and 2.
The above images show the printout from the plot fitting function and one of the graphs produced.

Final Calibration Constants for MC1, MC2, & MC3
We then utilized our calculated calibration constants (as seen bellow) to adjust the following filter parameters in the IMC control panel.
To make the updates such that the IMC screens show the correct urad values at the output of the filter banks, we must do the following steps to MC1, MC2, and MC3:
First, to make changes to our calibration filters, we must first shut off the pitch and yaw feedback loop controls.
TO do so for the Lock Filters, we will set the pitch and yaw SUS ASC inputs to 0 but entering the sitemap > IOO > C1IOO_WFS_MASTER
Nex head to action at the top right, and we can select "MC WFS relief 60s", this will relieve the values from the pitch and yaw inputs to the 40m Mode Cleaner Alignment settings to save the overall alignment and allow us to turn off the WFS servos to make the necessary adjustments on the lock filters.
Once we have waited a sufficient amount of time for the values on the ASC inputs to hover around 0, select Turn WFS ON/OFF button and choose "Turn OFF MCWFS Servo"
Next, we will press on the "on/off" button (see attachment 3 - circled in orange) for pitch and yaw found in just the LOCK FILTERS windows.
Once these are off we will stay in the same screen and adjust the gain values (boxed in yellow) for pitch and yaw.
Next, we will take the current value and divide it by the newly found corresponding calibration constant. This is to adjust for the changes we will be making on the output end of the filter banks such that all values in the feedback controls are normalized to the same scale.
The changes made here can be seen bellow:

Now that these changes have been made in the damp and lock filter banks, with the pitch and yaw feedback loops STILL OFF, we may adjust the newly made calibration filters for pitch and yaw (as seen in attachment 4).
The "P" and "Y" filters may be opened (boxed in red) and we may adjust the gain (circled in yellow). Because each of these filters have just been created, the value is set to 1. This value can be completely replaced with the calibration constant found in our table above. Thus we will now change MC1 Pitch to have a "gain" of 12.66 and so forth.
Once each of the calibration filters have been updated, you may go back into the damp filters and reinitiate the feedback loops.
Once all values have been entered,
This concludes the updating of the IMC filter calibration constants at DC. |

yuta | Update | BHD | BH55 and BH44 orthogonality checks | Ideally, BH55 and BH44 should give orthogonal signals to lock LO phase (40m/17302).
This was checked with various interferometer configurations.
BH55 and BH44 are indeed orthogonal in ITM single bounce and MICH, but was not measurable in FPMI.
Maybe we should investigate BH44 in MICH BHD configuration first to see why BH44 is very noisy in FPMI.
Method:
- X-Y plotted BH55_Q and BH44_Q and fitted with an ellipse to derive amplitude of each signal and phase difference between them.
- Amplitude and phase differences are calculated using the following equations, where (ap, bp) are the semi-major and semi-minor axes, respectively, and phi is the rotation of the semi-major axis from the x-axis. (Thanks to Tomohiro for checking the calculations!)
xAmp = np.sqrt((ap * np.cos(phi))**2 + (bp * np.sin(phi))**2)
yAmp = np.sqrt((ap * np.sin(phi))**2 + (bp * np.cos(phi))**2)
phaseDiff = np.arctan(bp/ap*np.tan(phi)) + np.arctan(bp/ap/np.tan(phi))
Jupyter notebook: /opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/Git/40m/scripts/CAL/BHD/MeasurePhaseDiff.ipynb
- This was done un following 4 configurations.
- ITMX single bounce vs LO
- ITMY single bounce vs LO
- AS beam in MICH locked with AS55_Q vs LO
- AS beam in FPMI locked with REFL55/AS455 vs LO
- For each configuration, RF demodulation phases were tuned to minimize I.
- Statistical error was estimated by calculating the standard deviation of 3 measurements.
- Also, FPMI BHD sensing matrix was measured when FPMI is locked with REFL55/AS55, and LO_PHASE is locked with BH55_Q or BH44_Q.

Demod phase Amplitude Phase Diff
BH55_Q 35 +/- 3 deg 257 +/- 4
BH44_Q -16 +/- 3 deg 44 +/- 1 -77 +/- 3 deg
- Attachmented pdf contain example X-Y plots from each configuration. For ITM single bounce and MICH, BH55 and BH44 seems to be orthogonal, but for FPMI, ellipse fit does not go well.
- Difference in the BH55 demodulation phase for ITMX single bounce and ITMY single bounce (1.5 +/- 0.4 deg) agrees with past measurement and agree marginally with Schnupp asymmetry (40m/17274).
- Maybe we can derive some length differences using these demodulation phases.
Result of FPMI sensing matrix measurements:
- Below is the sensing matrix when FPMI is locked with REFL55/AS55, and LO_PHASE is locked with BH55_Q. BH44 is noisier than BH55, and the response to LO1 is consistent with zero. This is also consistent with BH44 being orthogonal to BH55, but the error bar is too large to say.

- Below is the sensing matrix when FPMI is locked with REFL55/AS55, and LO_PHASE is locked with BH44_Q. BH44 response to LO1 is again consistent with zero. Locking LO_PHASE with BH44 is not robust. Also, BHDC_DIFF response to DARM is less, compared with LO_PHASE locked with BH55_Q. This means that BH55 is somehow better than BH44 in our FPMI BHD, which contradicts with simulations (with no contrast defect and DARM offset).

Other notes:
- TRX and TRY are noisier at ~28 Hz when locked with REFL55/AS55 than when locked with POX/POY. DARM signal seems to be contaminated with broad 28 Hz noise. Needs investigation of the cause.
- BS oplev loops seem to be close to unstable. When FPMI is unlocked, BS is kicked significantly.
Next:
- Repeat measurement in 40m/17351 with BH44.
- Compare LO phase noise in MICH configuration when LO_PHASE is locked with BH44 and BH55.
- Investigate 28 Hz noise in FPMI
- Tune BS local damping loops |

Alex | Update | Calibration | Adding calibration constants for sus matrix and filter control buttons to the sus control screen | The callibration constants were updated for the oplev pitch and yaw. The values were changed as denoted in 17471 were:
PITH: 175.7→ 155 cts/urad
YAW: 193 → 241 cts/urad
To make these changes for the oplev callibration constants I went to ETMY - SELECTED OPLEV SERVO BOX
I then opened OLMATRIX and turned off PITCH and YAW servos in the ETMY SUSPENSION SCREEN such that the system does not attempt to actively make corrections while values are being changed.
Then I adjusted the matrix to include our updated calibration constants and reinitiated the oplev ptich and yaw servo's
This updated the calibration constants for everything

The next change that was made was the addition of the calibration filters for position, pitch, yaw and side into the sitemap view for the suspension systems.
Adding calibration filters will allow us to callibrate the pos, pitch, yaw, and side to true values of urad and umeters (see 17459)
The final screen may be seen bellow (the updated area is outlined in red):

When each of the filter buttons is clicked, the following screen will now appear (circled in yellow is the calibration constant gain we will be calculating and entering into the system):

To create the edits to the controls screen we must complete the following process
We can edit the original screen - right click > evaluate > edit this screen
Then I adjusted the width of the overall screen, and moved the right half of the modules over to the right so I could fit in some filter buttons. I then Navigated to the c1ioo wfs master screen using the open feature to copy a pre existing filter module
I then adjusted the filter module and its contents to correspond to the features and autogenerated model files from RTCDS
There was some rearranging and adjusting needed to get these files in place first. The autogenerated files from the RTCDS can be found in dir = "/opt/rtcds/caltech/c1/medm/c1sus/"
They were autogenerated with names "C1SUS_BS_PITCAL.adl", "C1SUS_BS_POSCAL.adl", "C1SUS_BS_YAWCAL.adl","C1SUS_BS_SIDECAL.adl"
We copied these files to dir = "/opt/rtcds/userapps/trunk/sus/c1/medm/templates/NEW_SUS_SCREENS/"
The file names were changed to "SUS_PITCAL.adl", "SUS_POSCAL.adl", "SUS_YAWCAL.adl", "SUS_SIDECAL.adl"
The directory we placed them in is where the models for c1 sus can be found that are referenced by the sitemap suspension monitor screen
Each file was then opened in Vscode and a few changes were made such that the specific naming values referenced by the different screens of the sitemap and different optics, are replaced by the overarching values seen in each instance of the screens.
There are approximately 50 referenced file names of "C1:SUS-BS_PITCAL" etc. In each instance we made the following changes:
"-BS" was changed to "-$(OPTIC)"
"C1:" was changed to "$(IFO):"
The new strings should read "$(IFO):SUS-$(OPTIC)_PITCAL"
Once this change was made we can now right click on the filter module box, click on "Label/Name/Args" button
In the display file, we must add the path name for the calibration directory "/opt/rtcds/userapps/trunk/sus/c1/medm/templates/NEW_SUS_SCREENS/SUS_POSCAL.adl"
And for the arguments box we will enter OPTIC=$(OPTIC), IFO=$(IFO)
You can also copy and paste the directory names in the file boxes using right click copy from the file manager and paste into the box using a single click of the mouse scroller wheel
Lastly, the PV limits were changed for each number output right click value box > PV limits > Precision > Source changed to "Default" with a value of 1.
The shown value of the position, pitch, yaw, and side was then changed to show the output from the newly added filter. This is done also by right clicking the value box and adjusting the "Readback Channel".
Value changed from "$(IFO):SUS-$(OPTIC)_TO_COIL_1_#_INMON" to the outputs from the filters which are
"$(IFO):SUS-$(OPTIC)_POSCAL_OUTMON" (for others changing POSCAL to the appropriate variable)
This is how to edit and add the Medm screens for single suspension optics into the sitemap IFO SUS screen
Lastly, Tomohiro and I worked on acquiring 6 data sets from DC stepping through adjustments in pitch and yaw for MC1, MC2 and MC3. These datasets will be fit quadratically and combined with more tests dine by AC driving the stepper motors tomorrow to find the calibration constants for the mirrors. |

yuta | Update | BHD | BH55 and BH44 both amplified | Since we need more signal for both BH55 and BH44 to compare LO phase locking scheme, BH55 and BH44 RF outputs are now amplified with ZFL-1000LN+ and ZFL-500HLN+ respectively (see Attachment #1).
The amplifiers each draw ~0.1 A current of 15V DC power supply, and Sorensen power supply now reads 6.9 A (see Attachment #2).
With ITMX single bounce and LO beam fringing, BH55_Q (45 dB whitening gain, C1:LSC-BH55_PHASE_R=-110 deg) gives ~500 counts in amplitude, and BH44_Q (24 dB whitening gain, C1:LSC-BH44_PHASE_R=4.387 deg) gives ~100 counts in amplitude (and they are orthogonal) (see Attachment #3). |

Radhika | Update | ALS | XARM green laser lock debugging | I retook the last spectrum measurement of ALS beatnote fluctuations, with the HEPA on and off. The top plot corresponds to BEATY, and the bottom plot corresponds to BEATX. The 560 Hz peak doesn't seem to be dependent on the status of the HEPA. The noise floor change in BEATY is probably due to drift of the beatnote frequency. |
