Minutes

• Magnetic noise measurement inside cryostat [Tanaka]
  • results from spectrum analyzer and data logger didn't matched, but confirmed spectrum analyzer is reliable (data logger had aliasing issue)
  • measured noise is roughly 3 pT/rtHz @ 10 Hz, limited by the sensor noise
  • send the data to Michimura [Tanaka]

• OFI and OMC status (JGW-T1706334) [Somiya]

  • new AS optics layout: SRM -> OMMT1 -> OMMT2 -> OFI -> STM -> OMC

  • look for OFI with larger aperture [Somiya]
  • OMC alignment: use STM and OMMT2? we need more aperture for OFI
    • for redundancy, OMC should be actuated also
  • be careful of magnetic field by OFI; OMMT1 is close and alignment might change
  • maybe we need a prototype OMC to be installed at first stage to practice alignment, servo and so on
    • prototype could be made with a metal plate (or carbon plate?)
    • anyway, real OMC should be purchased in next FY.
• MIF should request budget for next FY

    • presented at Chief Meeting on Sept 26

    • TMS BRT alignment could be tough because of faint transmitted beam after ETM installation (~0.25uW)

      • use green?
        • BS transmission for green is S:99.40% P:97.85% at 45 deg
        • 100 mW green beam from PR gives ~0.12 mW at ETMY transmission

    • check optical layout [Michimura->Aso]

  • check if ETM transmitted beam can go through when ETM is not installed [Michimura]

    • ETM transmitted beam can reach EXT/EYT when no wedge (5.6 mm shifted from the center of EXT/EYT)
    • EXT/EYT tanks/ducts are installed considering ETM wedge effect

  • wide/narrow angle baffles for Phase 1? [Akutsu]

    • talk with Uchiyama & Saito on Sept 27-28?

      • as for NAB: install if possible, but maybe without suspension
      • as for WAB: try WAB with suspension at EXC, maybe no installaton at EYC
        • how to peel off the first contact?
        • we cannot see the beam on ETM with IR cards with WAB
      • first priority is cryopayloads and evacuation/cool-down

  • camera to see ETM HR surface [Akutsu, Inoue, Kokeyama]

    • CAL report (JGW-G1605737)

    • wide angle baffle modification is needed to see the ETM edge
  • how to extract AS beam should be fixed by MIF

    • extract SR2 reflected beam at SR3 chamber (decided at the meeting on Sept 13)

    • Layout around SRs (JGW-T1605967)

  • IMMT1-IMMT2 beam collimation plan not yet [MIF]
  • green alignment plan not yet [MIF]

    • check q-parameter at TMS witouht ITM

• bKAGRA Phase 1 analog electronics (Analog Electronics for ISC) [Michimura]

  • Quad IQ Demodulator heat-up issue
    • 1st stage amp is heating up

    • we have to decide if we need 1st stage amp or not

  • Quad IQ Demodulator LSC to ASC
    

    • mass production will be taken care by AEL

    • 4-way splitter (Mini-Circuits ZFSC-4-1-S+) arrived at Kamioka -> Mozumi office loft

  • RF Distribution Amplifier JGW-D1504460

    • we will omit RF monitor for now, and add them later
    • front/rear panels, RF amps, 8-way splitters, couplers, cables and connectors at Mozumi office loft
  • RF Frequency Doubler

    • what's the frequency? [Kamiizumi->Michimura]

      • thought used for 2*f1,2*f2, but aLIGO uses them for ALS

  • Requested Universal Whitening Filter with DC Power to AEL (JGW-T1605839)

    • see DCQPDDriverList (see, also, DCQPDList)

    • need to coordinate with subgroups (MIF, IOO, AOS, VIS, CRY)
• RF PDs and RF QPDs
  • RF PD / RF QPD noise and transimpedance characterization
    • we need permanent test bench
  • RF PD modification [who?]
    • fix DC path
    • solve single supply issue (RF PDs easily break when accidentally supplied with single)
    • fix plugs so that Dsub 9pin cable fixes better

• Arm Length Stabilization plan (JGW-T1605353)

  • NoiseBudget [Kambara]

    • results agreed with Tatsumi Simulink model
    • include fiber noise (fiber setup is different from Tatsumi model)

      • fiber length? how to do the wiring?

      • ask LIGO people how they are fixing the cables

        • no special vibration / heat treatment [from Kawabe]
    • include phase noise from mirror vibration for IR beat setup (it is one of the limiting noise source for aLIGO)
    • schedule and plan for the procurement of circuits should be fixed soon
      • keep in touch with AEL group

    • local oscillator phase noise (calculation method)

      • discuss with Aso and redo calculation

• Requirement on actuator range for IMMT [Ohishi]

  • magnet size: 2 mm dia, 5 mm long
  • coil turns: 39?
  • this gives 4 times larger efficiency than the IMC coil efficiency
  • IMMT resonant frequencies: pitch ~1.8 Hz, yaw ~1.5 Hz

  • this gives 50/sqrt(2) mm * (1.4e-3 N/A * 4) * 4 magnets * 1/80 A/V / 9.6e-4 kg*m²　 / (2*pi*1.8 Hz)² = 8e-5 rad/V efficiency in pitch

  • is this enough?
    • IMC mirror (Type-C + stack) drift in yaw was less than 1 mrad/month, pitch was much less [Nakano]
    • iKAGRA ETM (Type-C w/o stack) drift was ???
• RF generation scheme [Michimura]
  • f1 = 3/8*f2, f3 = 10/8*f2
  • we need 2*f1, 2*f2, f3-f1, f3-f2 as well
  • use harmonics generator (x2, x3, x6, x8, x10, x16 for f2/8 = 5.62698725 MHz (FSR for IMC))
    • seeking for vendors

  • MIF and IOO agreed to use 13.78 MHz　(~= f2/8*2.45) for IMC sideband (JGW-T1605493)

  • MIF agreed to use 32 MHz and 33 MHz for ALS sidebands JGW-T1605626

  • may be IMC sideband (and ALS sidebands) should also needs to be phase locked with f1/f2/f3 to avoid "whistling noise"

  • in case of KAGRA, we don't need Frequency Doubler or Frequency Divide By Two for ALS

    • is this true?
• bKAGRA optical layout around PRC
  • POY clipping issue will be solved by modifying PR3 optical bench suspension [Shoda]
  • we need layout CAD for POY pickoff mirror, POP pickoff mirror to design baffles
    • budget for baffles around POY and POP were shifted to next FY [SEO]
• viewport quality for GV between SRM and OMMT [Akutsu]
  • aLIGO case: SRM-OFI-viewport, KAGRA case: SRM-viewport-OMMT-OFI
  • aLIGO viewport is always closed

  • if we need super quality viewport, we have to decide soon

• BS baffle could make contract defect? (LIGO-T1000090)

  • ask Akutsu and Hiro
  • BS has 370 mm dia and beam at BS is 2*36 mm dia. So, it should be in principle OK. But recoil mass aperture should be considered.
• bKAGRA ISC cabling [Michimura/Doi]
  • announced to IOO mailing list
  • need to update the cabling diagram
• Mirror absorption measurement status [Hirose]
• Output optics status [Somiya]
