181	Sun Nov 13 10:11:19 2016	Gabriele	General	Noise hunting	Noise due to air
The plot below compares the QPD signal spectra in different configurations (roughing pump on/off, air on/off). The noise below ~<2kHz is making very hard to measure the Q of the first mode at 1100 Hz The main source of noise are the clean air filters. I switched them to minimum for the moment being.

This morning I installed temporarily a second QPD to monitor the input beam. The goal was to understand where the vibrations at frequencies below 2kHz couple from. As shown in the photo, the second QPD was close to the first one. The signals in the two QPDs were quite different, and the coherence between them wasn't great. So I concluded that the main coupling path is not through input beam of QPD vibration, but more likely real motion of the disk. I removed the additional QPD and restored the setup to its nominal configuration. The readout infrastructure is still in the model.

170	Wed Nov 9 15:32:11 2016	Gabriele	General	Noise hunting	Noise below 2 kHz is not due to the roughing pump, but to the clean air filters
The two spectra below show basically no difference (blue roughing pump on, red, roughing pump off) Instead, below is another comparison: blue same as before, standard condition, red with one of the two clean air filters momentarily off.

165	Mon Nov 7 11:27:16 2016	Gabriele	General	Vacuum	Turbo pump excites some resonance at 58 Hz
I looked into a couple of turbo pump switch on periods, and in both cases when the pump speed hits 58 Hz, a resonance is excited. I'm not sure what's resonating. Today I let the roughing pump reduce the pressure to a level lower than usual, and this seems to mitigate the effect. The disk wasn't shaking as much as it did in previous pump-downs.

IGM on at 10:55am, disk moved briefly afterwards, not sure if correlated since the IGM controlled is still showing "STARTING". Disk definitely moved at 10:57:40, when the IGM controller started showing pressure. IGM switched off at 10:58:45am, disk is not going back! QPD recentered using picomotors.

158	Fri Nov 4 11:31:11 2016	Gabriele	Electronics	Configuration	Autocenter control and model modifications
Removed the peak meter lock from the model, since it's not used Added and EPICS binary bit to control the autocenter, added corresponding buttons to the MEDM screen. Now the GUI stops the autocentering when acquiring the reference spectrum. The auto_excite.py also stops the autocentering 35 seconds before the excitation and until 35 second after the excitation, to provide for two reference quiet periods.
157	Fri Nov 4 08:13:25 2016	Gabriele	Electronics	General	Power outage?
This morning I found the cymac and the workstation rebooted, so I suspected a power cut in the last days. However, the function generator and the power supply for the QPD were off. So somebody must have turned them off. Please write those actions in the elog!

Annealing run (449-453) on 3" wafers - Crime 11/01/2016 https://dcc.ligo.org/T1600507
154	Mon Oct 31 12:51:13 2016	Gabriele	General	Measurements	Simulation of dilution factor and measured loss angles
I made a COMSOL simulation of our wafer (75 mm with flats, 1 mm thick) with a 1 micron thick coating (Tantala), and computed the dilution factor (E_coating / E_total). The result is shown in the plot below: The dilution factor is slighly mode dependent, around a value of 5.7e-3. The Q we measured on the latest two annealed wafers are in the range of 5e6 - 10e6 for the good modes, meaning that the total loss angle (subtrate, surface and edge combined) is 1e-7 - 2e-7. Assuming an undoped tantala coating with loss angle of 4e-4 (http://authors.library.caltech.edu/55765/2/1501.06371.pdf), the disk loss angle after coating will be 2.2e-6, a factor 5 to 10 higher than our uncoated and annealed wafers. So we can use the wafers as they are for our measurements.

2016-10-29 venting at 10:00am 10/29 sample installed, pumping down started at 10:12am, turbo pump on at 10:29am Started automatic excitation at 10:46am. The first excitation will go off in 2 hours, then more at intervals of three hours. Amplitude 3kV, duration 30s As with #447, the wafer moved during pum down. I clearly saw that the beam was moving as if the disk got kicked and rang down. Not sure what's going on, I've never seen such a behavior in past pump downs Excitation at 1161805607 (30 s) Excitation at 1161820052 (30 s) There is something strange happening at frequencies below a few kHz. I tried stopping the autocenter, but that's not what is causing the problem. It looks like some king of saturations. 2016-10-30 I tried to move the beam, but I still see the same behavior in the spectrum. I think the disk has shift and it now touching the ESD. Stopped all pumps at 11:58am. Chamber open at 12:50pm. I realigned all the optical setup to the horizontal reference, and moved the ESD a bit up. The sample was installed and leveled at 1:10pm, started again pumping down at ~1:12pm. Turbo pump started at ~1:19pm. When the frequency of the turbo pump gets to ~150-200 Hz, the wafer gets highly excited. Apart from that and the slow drift of the QPD signals that is almost always present, everything looks ok. Started autocentering at 1:27pm. Started a set of automatic excitations: initial wait is 2 hours, then three excitation intervalled by 3 hours wait, each 30s long at 3kV. I noticed once again that switching on the IGM vacuum gauge moved the disk.

Installation I had some problems in installing the wafer. I balanced it and started the pump down a couple of times, and the wafer moved so that the beam coming out of the chamber was clipping. I decided to re-align the optical setup again. As before, I used a small container with water to have the horizontal reference, and aligned the output optics to center on the QPD. I also added a iris before the mirror with the picomotors, as additional reference. During pump down I noticed a few sudden jumps of the QPD signals. The output beam moved a lot again, so my realignment didn't help. I even tried to slow down the pump, but this didn't help either. To recover the beam on the pick-off mirror, I had to move a bit the upper periscope mirror. So my horizontal reference is no more good. It's not clear what's going on, but I'll keep pumping down. installed on 10/28 at 9:00pm, pumping down. Turbo started at 9:09pm, The beam is slowly drifting but nothing to be worried about. Pressure is 5.9e-6 Tor at 9:20pm. autocentering script on at 9:18pm started a set of measurements at 9:20pm. Three excitations (3 kV, 30s). The first one will start in 2h, then the others will follow with an interval of three hours between them. A python script (auto_excite.py) is running on the workstation stopped pumps at 9:30 am 10/29 I noticed another strange thing: when I switchec the IGM vacuum gauge on, the QPD signal changed, as if the beam moved. See figure below. Measurements Excitation at 1161757257 (30 s) Excitation at 1161757309 (30 s) Excitation at 1161757361 (30 s) Something went wrog with the script (some python issue I still don't understand) so the three excitations were executed in sequence.

143	Fri Oct 21 15:27:15 2016	Gabriele	Electronics	Configuration	Removed low pass filter in SUM
I removed the low pass filter in the QPD SUM signal, used for normalization. This reduced a lot the bump at ~20kHz due to laser intensity noise. I also switched off the 500 Hz high pass filters in the X_NORM and Y_NORM signals.
142	Fri Oct 21 14:03:17 2016	Gabriele	General	Vacuum	Roughing pump moved
I moved the roughing pump out of the clean room, adding an extension hose. This reduced a lot the vibrations induced by the pump. In the past when the pump was running we often saw very large noise, see the red trace in the figure below. Now, in the same conditions, we get the blue trace, which is much better. The plot below shows a comparison of different configurations: blue: what I sometimes manage to get tewking the pump position and keeping it on top of a plastic box red: now, with the pump far away green: with the pump off We are quite close to the pump off condition.

At 11:44am I had to tweak a bit the input steering periscope to avoid the outgoing beam to be clipped on the pickoff mirror roughing pump off at 2:27pm excitation at 2:36pm (2000 V, 30 s) Results % Freq First Q of pair Second Q of pair 1117.4 2.3392e+07 2.3392e+07 2555.9 1.8650e+07 1.8650e+07 4441.1 1.3003e+07 1.3003e+07 6759.2 1.6003e+07 1.5656e+07 6781.8 1.4795e+07 1.4795e+07 9499.2 5.6765e+06 5.6765e+06 10219.5 1.3148e+07 2.7060e+06 10222.3 1.3909e+07 4.2609e+04 11444.0 2.0756e+06 6.5364e+05 12649.4 1.0264e+07 8.7228e+06 12650.7 8.6808e+06 8.6808e+06 14176.3 1.0290e+07 1.0290e+07 14177.5 1.0185e+07 1.0185e+07 16113.7 1.0856e+07 9.7535e+06 16202.5 8.6733e+06 5.0176e+06 18619.0 1.3113e+07 1.3113e+07 18622.1 1.4864e+07 1.4864e+07 20149.0 1.4047e+06 1.4047e+06 21348.8 6.9944e+06 6.9944e+06 21353.3 8.0679e+06 3.1734e+05 23529.5 1.3076e+07 1.3076e+07 24482.3 9.6841e+06 9.6841e+06 24669.1 4.8629e+06 4.8629e+06 24670.5 6.3609e+06 6.3609e+06 25499.2 5.2216e+06 5.2216e+06 25828.0 3.3780e+06 3.3780e+06 27101.0 1.4934e+07 1.4934e+07 27103.5 1.4956e+07 1.4956e+07 28883.5 1.2076e+07 1.2076e+07 29068.6 1.1494e+07 1.1494e+07 29072.0 9.7555e+06 9.7555e+06 29190.0 5.9610e+06 5.9610e+06 29193.2 7.9280e+06 7.9280e+06 29502.2 7.8254e+06 7.8254e+06 30867.0 6.3681e+06 6.3681e+06 31267.0 1.6836e+06 1.4541e+05 32194.4 5.3275e+06 5.3275e+06 32200.0 5.9215e+06 2.6587e+06 The following plot compares the Q measured on this sample yesterday here at Caltech with the GeNS system, with the measurement perfomed by Raymond Robie in Glasgow. - blue dots: measurements on the flame polished sample here at Caltech - orange crosses and yellow triangles: Raymond’s measurements on the flame polished sample at in Glasgow (after annealing) - purple crosses: typical Q values measured on disk samples (not annealed nor flame polished) here at Caltech Flame polishing of the edges did not change significantly the Q we measure with the GeNS system. However, the GeNS system rovide systematically higher Q values for basically all measurable modes.

138	Wed Oct 19 17:08:47 2016	Gabriele	General	Measurements	S1600433 vs S1600438
S1600433 has been annealed, was contaminated by the iron oxide, and it was cleaned using first contact. No residual were visible on the surface during a simple eye inspection (no flash light) S1600438 is as received from Mark Optics. Some particules are visible on the surfaces with a flash light The plot below compares the Q values measured today for the two disks. The disk that was annealed and cleaned clearly shows lower Q's for almost all modes.

S1600433, annealing run 10/10/2016 Installation Installed in the measurement system, chamber closed pump down started at 4:27pm LT turbo pump started at 4:38pm manually recentered the QPD at 4:39pm HV amplifer turned on at 4:41pm. NOTE: initally I opened the roughing pump valve just a bit, to avoid shaking the disk too much. The reflected beam was moving quite a lot, but after the pressure went below roughly 1/3 atm there was no visible motion anymore and I opened up the valve completely. Attached a trend of the QPD signals during the pump down. The time of incresed noise was at the beginning of the pump down. Measurements 2016-10-18 At 8:10pm, used the autocenter.py script to fine center the QPD. Cleaned the script log and started it again after the excitation. Used the GUI to excite (amplitude 2000 V, duration 20s) and measure the ring downs at about 8:18pm.

133	Mon Oct 17 10:50:50 2016	Gabriele	General	Vacuum	No sign of problems in the electrostatic drive
I opened the chamber and took the etched disk out. Inspection of the electrostatic drive does not show any sign of burn or damage. So it seems that the problem we had previously was due to contamination of the chamber (in the first case) or of the ESD (in the second case)
132	Thu Sep 29 15:40:45 2016	Gabriele	Optics	Design	Beam profile of new 21mW HeNe laser and tweak of optical lever design
I measured the beam profile of the new Thorlabs HeNe (21.8 mW measured). The beam waist is 355 microns, very close to the laser output port. Using those numbers and the optical gain optimization algorithm, I tweaked the optical lever design. The simplest solution uses two lenses right after the laser to focus the beam down to about 300 microns on the QPD. The arm lever length is about 1.6 m, corresponding to an optical gain of about 18000/rad. I updated the DCC drawing in D1600213
