Low-pass filter

AC: Gain 200

DC: Gain 1

diff. sig.

non-diff.sig.

Non-optimal treatment of DC signalsdominated by ADC noise(but were not foreseen as error signals)

VMEQD box

3 Commissioning meeting, Cascina, 5.12.2005

Principles of calculation

Calculate electronic noise at each quadrant diodeAC and DC signals

Reconstruct error signalsUsing C7 matrix

Pass through DSP correction filters

Obtain mirror motions through suspension transfer functionsLA loops closed

Suppose asymmetry (10, 1, 0.2 mm) => length noise

Two cases1. C7

using measured QD DC powers

2. Optimized DC powers50% of saturation power

WI under local controlSimulated WI LA curves for comparison

C7 noise not limited byLA electronics noise

(but: excess noise)

16 Commissioning meeting, Cascina, 5.12.2005

Influence of QD power

Can gain ~ factor 10by increasing QD powers

17 Commissioning meeting, Cascina, 5.12.2005

Noise budget (C7)

ADC noise (= DC noise)is not dominating, butclose => second diagonalization (tx) has spoiled signals by reintroducing DC signals everywhere ?

18 Commissioning meeting, Cascina, 5.12.2005

Influence of mirror centering (optimized powers)

Without optimized matrixnor optimized filters: => need LIGO centering precision (0.2 mm)

19 Commissioning meeting, Cascina, 5.12.2005

Noise budget (optimized, 0.2 mm)

Still some effort neededat low frequencies

20 Commissioning meeting, Cascina, 5.12.2005

Contribution of mirrors (optim. powers)

NI ty filter difficult to improve? => try combination of EM + HH optimizations

21 Commissioning meeting, Cascina, 5.12.2005

Conclusions I

We can go quite far => LF design sensitivityusing present matrix and filters

but improvements hopefully possible

using DC signalsif optimizing QD powerif centering mirrors very well

Maximization of power on QD's is important

DC signals don't have more electronic noise than AC signalsTypical levels: AC 50 µV/rtHz DC 3 µV/rtHzLower DC electronic gain is not compensated by higher matrix gain

B2 DC signal seems to have high sensitivity (good SNR)

"second diagonalization" seems to spoil some signalsbut still same order of magnitude than AC signals

Other reasons for getting rid of DC signalsGet rid of laser technical noise at 6 MHz ?Seismic noise ?

22 Commissioning meeting, Cascina, 5.12.2005

Conclusions II

Extra noise observed on NI, BS, PR mirrorsNot limited by electronic noise at 50 HzC7 observation:

NI ty injected noise into dark fringe=> filter roll-off had to be improved

Origin of extra noise- Related to WI local control?- Diffused light?

same noise seen on B7, and on reconstr. signals using B7/B8

- QD miscentering?same noise seen in longitudinal noise (GV)

23 Commissioning meeting, Cascina, 5.12.2005

Conclusions III

ProblemsFeedback gains not well known

Optical matrix not calibrated

PR, BS influence on length noise not yet included

To be doneDevelop optimized correctors

for the 10-20 Hz range

Find optimized matrixUnderstand DC-AC noise questionInclude PR, BS contributions to length noise
