BRT part installation
See here
GPT part installation
- We brought five QPD mechanical basis with plastic case which was used to store Dsub cables.
- AFTER QPD INSTALLATION, WE SHOULD RETURN THE BOX TO 低音鏡機械室.
- After BRT part was installed and aligned, we started to install GPT part (in-air part).
- We found that damping of TMS-VIS was not necessary for GPT installation.
Following the design, we installed the beginning part of the green light path, two periscope mirrors, two steering mirrors, and one lenses.
- First periscope mirror (GPM1): TFM-50C080532 (Opto-Sigma)
- Second periscope mirror (GPM2): TFM-50C080532 (Opto-Sigma)
- First steering mirror (GST1): TFM-50C080532 (Opto-Sigma)
- Second steering mirror (GST2): TFM-50C080532 (Opto-Sigma)
- First lens (GLNS1, f=500): LA1380-A-ML (Thorlabs)
- First periscope mirror (GPM1): TFM-50C080532 (Opto-Sigma)
- At first, all mirrors were installed. Then the lens was installed not to change beam position.
- The lens position, i.e. beam profile, was not tuned since the tuning was not so effective without arm cavity locked.
- In the end of today's work, we installed DC PD (PDA100A2, Thorlabs) after GST2 temporarily. The gain was set to 0 dB.
- After all, GPT part looks like below.
The signal was checked like this.
- Enomoto-kun kindly built model (k1aostmsx) and restarted k1dc0 to register channel for IR and Green DC PD befor the above klog6452.
Next plan
- Align and balance the BRT and the TMS-VIS.
- Configure the digital models properly.
- Detach the remaining white tapes just before closing the chamber; be noted that there are white tapes on the PEEK connectors at the inside of the flanges.
- Torque completely the bolts which are fixing the upper and the lower base plates.
- Insert metal gaskets before torquing the ICF203 flanges with Dsub connectors.
- Install optics after GBS1
- Install gigE camera
- Modify MEDM screen
- Add DC PD and so on.
Cable Dsub 15pin for TMS-VIS OpLev.
- Modify cabling for DC PD.
- Return plastic box.
- Install rails in digital rack.
- They may be necessary under LVDT distributor, geophone distributor, and WHT board.
- Nagano is not sure it is necessary under HP coil driver.
- Consider how to cable Dsub cables to QPD.
Wanted!
- A document for learning how to release or fix the suspended tables (by Uraguchi?).
- FIVE QPD electronics boards
