we replaced the mount for the combining beam splitter in the beat setup as it caused a large, broadband peak in the spectrum around 1.4kHz. The new mount is one of the old, fixed turning mirror blocks they used in initial LIGO at LLO as far as i know. After replacing the mount the peak is entirely gone. I've used two springs instead of one to increase the pressure. We could not determine the resonance frequency of the new mount. Tapping the mount excites only known mechanical resonances from the surrounding mirror mounts. Tara posted a plot for comparison before and after replacing that mount (see here). He also has prepared a nice plot combined with a drawing which mount corresponds to which resonance we see in the spectrum. We will use this to start reducing (or even eliminating) those resonances starting with the most dominant ones close to 1kHz
Attached a copy of the drawing.
