Noise hunting in SR3 optics' residual motion

Date: 03-08-2019.

Author: Fabian.

Context: klog entries 9702 and 9755.

On Friday afternoon I found high coherence between SR3 L and P degrees of freedom in at least two frequency bands, as measured by the oplev. High coherence is observed in both states ALIGNED and FLOAT.

  • Directory: /kagra/Dropbox/Subsystems/VIS/TypeBData/SR3/Noise/Measurements/20190802

  • Files: SR3_ALIGNED_TM_OPLEV_ASD.xml, SR3_FLOAT_TM_OPLEV_ASD.xml

Possible reasons for the high coherence are:

  • The oplev was not successfully diagonalized in those frequency bands. In this case the high coherence would be a consequence of measurement coupling between L and P and not to a real motion of the optic. In this case we would have to identify which one of the two degrees of freedom exhibits real motion. I have the impression thisis unlikely.

  • Lack of balance in optic coil-magnet actuators. Although the actuators have not been balanced yet, it's unlikely this is the main cause becasue the high coherence is also observed in FLOAT state, in which the control system is off.

  • Pitch motion happens as a consequence of the longitudinal motion in upper stages. I tend to think this is the most likely cause of high coherence.

  • There is an external environmental excitation. This may be acoustic noise or ground motion leaking through the suspension into the optic. It may be something affecting the oplev optics directly, but it's unikely because the effect is seen at low frequencies.

Plan for noise source identification.

  • {*} Find out the frequencies in which the oplev was diagonalized. Review the diagonalization procedure.

  • Balance the coils. Excite the optic using the saddle configuration and change actuator gains until the motion of the optic dissapears. Use the same frequency as in the oplev diagonalization.

  • {*} Look for coherence between the motion of the optic and upper stages:

    • TM-L, TM-P ⇔IM-L, IM-P.
    • TM-L, TM-P ⇔ IP-L.
    • IM-L, IM-P ⇔ IP-L.
  • Change and monitor enviromental conditions:

    • {*} Ask Yokozawa-san whether he has an ASD of the acpustic noise inside the clean rooms and compare.

    • Turn off the filter fan units (FFUs) inside the clean room and repeat the measurements.
    • Place a microphone close to the oplev optics and another one close to the IP, measure the amplitude spectral density of the acoustic excitation with the fans off and on and search for coherence with the TM/IM/IP motion.
    • Place an accelerometer on each oplev plaforms and repeat previous item.

Plan for reducing control noise

  • {*} Reduce gain of control signal. This is in principle something quick and easy to do.

  • Check the values of the unity gain frequencies (UGF) in SR2 optics control loops.
    • In case the control noise is higher than the UGF roll-off the filter.
    • In case the control noise is within the control frequency band check whether reducing the gain worked. If not continue with the noise hunting.

Following the plan for noise source identification I measured the coherence between the following degrees of freedom:

  • TM-L, TM-P ⇔IM-L, IM-P.
  • TM-L, TM-P ⇔ IP-L.
  • IM-L, IM-P ⇔ IP-L.

The highlights for the ALIGNED state are

  • The seismic environment seems noisier today. See klog entry for reference. The integrated RMS values are

    • TM yaw:
    • Additionally there is a large peak in TM-L, TM-P and TM-Y at 0.158 Hz.
  • There is high coherence between the following degrees of freedom and frequency bands:
