Gabriele | Electronics | Configuration | Trying to debug GPS time issue |
I swapped the SR signal generator with an Agilent 33210A. Shut down and restarted the cymac3. Now the command line GPS and the IOP model GPS are aligned within one second. Let's see if it stays this way.
Quote: |
UPDATE:
Now the time difference is about 30 seconds. It seems that the real time model is about 29 seconds advanced with respect to the GPS time one gets from a python script command running on the cymac3

The GPS time I get from python is the same I get from a shell script on the workstation or on the cymac3. I checked that it is also consistent with the GPS time on cymac2.
I moved the picomotors at precise times and looked at the data in the frames. Indeed the data has the wrong time stamp.

Things seems to be worse now. This morning I injected noise at GPS 1165078533 (real time, as obtained from the python command line, and consistent with what displayed in the MEDM screen) and found the injection in the data at GPS 1165078555, so 22 seconds later...

For a long time I had problems with the GPS time in frames being different from the real one.
This morning I rebooted the cymac3 and swapped the function generator with a new one.
I tested the GPS time in frames by switching on teh ESD noise at a given GPS time and checking the frames. The times are aligned.
I'll have to wait and see if this remains stable over time (in the past i saw an acculation of few seconds per day)
EDIT: I checked the two SR DS345 one against the other. Indeed, when bpth set to generate 65536 Hz, there is a continuos drift in the relative phase, accounting for one cycle over about 3.9 seconds. This would sum up to one second over ~256000 seconds, or about 3.5 days. It seems more or less comparable with the amount of GPS time mis-syncronization I saw. I'll have to wait a few days to see if the new clock is stable.

Gabriele | Electronics | General | High voltage relais |
We want to be able to drive any combination of the four samples in the new setup, by using only one HV amplifier.
So I designed and built a remotely controlled relay box: one HV input and four HV outputs, controlled by four relais. The relais can be switched using a logic signal coming from DAC channels.
The system is finished, tested and working. Details in D1600456

Gabriele | General | General | MIT bare disk losses reproduced with edge and surface losses |
The measured losses of the MIT bare disk show a remarkable split into families. The plot belo shows the measured total loss angles (error bars comes from dispersion of multiple measurements)

Using a COMSOL model, and tuning some parameters (E = 73.2 GPa, nu = 0.164, rho = 2202 kg/m^3, thickness = 0.511 mm) I can roughly reproduce the measured mode frequencies, within some tens of Hz:

There is still some splitting into families, so my guess is that the Poisson ratio is not quite right. But this is good enough for now. From this simulation, I can extract the various energies (bulk and shear) in different domains. In particular I'm focusing on the edge and surface energies. The following plot shows the ratio of shear/bulk edge energies over the total energy, as an example.
Now I used the edge shear energy ratio and the surface bulk energy ratio, and that's enough to reproduce the distribution of the measured loss angles:

The measured losses are well described by the following equation:
loss = 4.8e-6 * E_surface_bulk / E_tot + 1.2e-3 * E_edge_shear
The energy ratios here are not dimensionless, since they are the result of a surface integral over a volume integral. So to extract the real loss angles of the surface/edge defects we have to estimate the thickness of the surface/edge lossy area. |

Gabriele | General | Noise hunting | "Advanced" vibration isolation |
In normal conditions the RMS of the QPD signals is dominated by the 58 Hz line generated by the roughing pump. Also, when the modes are excited, they exhibit large sidebands at +- 58 Hz that are an annoyance for the analysis.
I improved a bit the level of the 58 Hz in the QPD signals by putting the roughing pump on top of a "Very Useful Box":
 
Despite the fact that this advanced vibration isolation is already a little bit effective, it might be good to try to build some better suspension and maybe add an acoustic isolation around the pump. |

Gabriele | General | Measurements | Laser polishing of bad disk improves Q, but they're still not very good |
Laser polishing of a sample from the second batch (S1600487, bad Q as out of the box) improves the Q values, but they're still lower than what we got with a good sample (S1600439, first batch)

Gabriele | Electronics | Characterization | ADC saturation |
Last night measurements didn't work well: even without exciting the modes, the ADC was saturating because of the low frequency signal, particularly a 58 Hz peak:
 
When the modes were rang up, thing got clearly even worse:
 
Modification of whitening filter
So I modified the whitening filter, changing C6 from 2.2u to 220nF. The old and new whitening filters are shown below. We have the same amount of whitening at high frequency, but less amplification of the junk at ~50-100 Hz

With this modification, there's no more saturation, even when the modes are excited.

Gabriele, Alastair | General | General | Laser polishing of S1600487 |
The sample has been laser polished this afternoon, 0.5mm/s, average power 23 W.
We moved the lens that focuses the beam about one inch toward the sample, to make the beam slightly larger. |

S1600439
This is the sample that was CO2 polished (198) and measured after polishing (197, 199). Unfortunately it got damaged during annealing:

I looked at the edge under the microscope. The first image is taken with light from above, and it shows a bit of residual defects in the center of the edge:

The images below are taken with light from below (which seems always the best choice) and they show some residual defects on the edge. Also, there is some "stuff" on the borders, like some fibers of some contamination. The first image is taken in correspondence of the damage, which is barely visible on the left edge. No clean problem is visible here.
  
S1600487
This is a sample as received from Mark Optics. I will measure its Q values, laser polish it, measure again and then anneal it. Here are some images of the edges for future reference. The last one in particular shows the transition from the round part to the flats. The surface quality is clearly different.

Gabriele | General | Measurements | Microscope inspection of CO2 polished samples |
S1600470
For reference, this sample has not been CO2 polished, but it has been annealed and measured. It has quite low Q values. Here are some images of the edges. The first two are taken with light from above. In the second one there some clear red residual, which is also visible as a coloration with the naked eye. The microroughness and some larger defect are well visible.
 
The following images instead are taken with light from below. The red residual is even more evident, and some traces probably due to the machining are clearly visible.
 
S1600479
This sample has been laser polished with a double pass (first at 0.5 mm/s, second at 0.25 mm/s). The first two images are taken with light from above: they are not very clear because of the specular reflection of the lamps. This already indicates that the surface is much smoother. Some defects (bubbles?) are visible close to the main surfaces.
 
The surface quality is more apparent in the following pictures, taken with light from below. The second one is taken where there is a chip in the main surface, and indeed one can see the shading due to the light distortion iduced by the chip. Also a cluster of "bubbles" is clearly visible there.
 
S1600462
This was our first polishing test. It is interesting because the laser tripped during the procedure, so we have a neat transition from the original surface to the polished one. First image taken with light from above, second with light from below

Gabriele | General | Measurements | CO2 polishing improves the Q !! |
The plot below shows that the Q values of S1600439 improved a lot after the CO2 laser polishing. About 15 modes have Q above 10e6. The first mode at 1kHz has a Q of 37e6, the highest ever measured so far!

Here's a comparison of the Q values of this sample before annealing, after annealing and after CO2 polishing.

Gabriele, Alastair | General | General | CO2 laser polishing tests |
We improved the control software of the laser polishing system: now the rotation speed is large when the laser is missing the disk because of the flats.
We used S1600479 as a test. This substrate was marked as damaged and had a clear chip. It went thoruhg two different polishing runs
- CO2 power ~19.5 W, speed 0.5 mm/s
- CO2 power ~18.5 W, speed 0.25 mm/s
The second run was probably too slow, and we can see some kind of traces left on the main surface close to the edges
We then laser polished a good subtrate (S1600439) which was already measured before (137) and after annealing (144), with good Q values. This is a substrate from the first batch we received from Mark Optics. The polishing was done at ~ 18W and 0.5 mm/s.
Some pictures below:

Gabriele, Alastair | General | Daily Progress | CO2 laser polishing setup |
Yesterday we assembled the lase polishing system. The Co2 laser power can be controlled using a waveplate, so we can turn on the laser at maximum power and let it stabilize, before actually turning up the power sent to the disk.
The beam is focused with a 10" focal length lens, and sent to the disk edge, poiting slightly upward to avoid hitting any other part of the disk.
The disk is moved with a combination of a linear and rotation stage, controlled with a MATLAB script. We tuned the translation and rotation speed so that the edge always moves at about 0.5 mm/s. Some refinement of the movimentation procedure will follow.
We tried the setup with one of the damaged samples, and the results are quite good.
More work this afternoon

Gabriele | General | Vacuum | Viton pads |
I added three 1"x1" viton pads below the base plate, and realigned the entire optical system to the horizontal reference
 
The pads seem to reduce a bit the vibrations in the QPD_X direction, but significantly improve the situation in the QPD_Y direction, see below:
