Does it happen if you disconnect the IR PDs but touch the outside of the BNCs?

Update on "The Effect" (The Voltage Noise at the Green PD Difference in my circuit changes depending on whether or not I have light on my IR PDs)
I checked the circuit a little more in detail, and I see the behavior at the output of the transimpedance amplifier for both PDs.
- I am using LT1792
- I short + to ground
- I put a 50 Ohm between - and ground
- The feedback is a 100k resistor, and a 100 pF capacitor
- Again, the behavior is a big noise increase when the IR circuitry is going.
- I unplugged the control signals from their respective destinations (PZT Drive box and AOM driver), but the behavior persists.
- With the box off, and the MZ Locked, this noise is (slightly above) about the same as the "MZ Phase Noise" above 10 Hz
- Below 10Hz the phase noise (or not this noise) is higher
- If I disconnect the IR PDs from my box the effect is gone (I'm using the same power supply for the ISS box and my box - I was worried that I was tugging the ground around somehow)
- I pulled EVERY op amp from the IR paths (including the feedback) - just 6 left. The effect persists.
- The above op amps are the transimpedance amplifiers for each PD, the balancing op amps, and the sum and difference op amps.
- If I connect either one of the IR PDs (with a terminator on the other input) into either of the inputs, the effect is there
