Assembled JGW-D1808968
- performance to be checked?
- Needs at least 5?
- FSS AOM (80 MHz), ALSX AOM (80 MHz), ALSY AOM (80 MHz), PLLX (40 MHz), PLLY (40 MHz)
- Replacing Refcav AOM (currently at 110MHz) will be after ALS AOM
- In case Low Noise VCO has some trouble or is too noise, we have an option to use PLL VCO
- Estimate arrived. VCO option will be available within 3 days after order. [Aso]
- So, we agreed on ordering when we had trouble with Low Noise VCO.
- Estimate arrived. VCO option will be available within 3 days after order. [Aso]
- RF source
- Harmonics Generator will arrive in the beggining of Nov (or end of Nov in worst case)
We currently have 6 Agilent N5181B, but we need 7 JGW-T1706762
- PMC PDH (15MHz)
- Refcav PDH (51.75MHz)
- IMC PDH (13.78MHz)
- seed for Harmonics Generator
- if Harmonics Generator delayed, we need 2 for f1 and f2, so we will use one for ALSY PDH
- ALSX PDH (33MHz) (NOTE that 33MHz for ALSX PDH, not 32MHz)
- ALSY PDH (32MHz)
- Not necessary until Yarm commissioning starts (mid-Nov?)
- seed for ALS VCO (~70MHz)
- for now, we will use Keysight 33612A (Enomoto's own)
- will be replaced to Keysight 33611A-OCX (ordered)
- Three-f or f3
Common mode servo board CMSB wiki JGW-G1808547
- There was a request from AEL to finalize how many and what kind of variations we need
- We currently have 5 and used for 1st MZI, IMC, CARM, PLL X, ALS PDHX
- Needs 4 more? 2nd MZI, PLL Y, ALS PDHY, ALS COMM summing node
OMC status
Calculations on DC power and circuit noise -> Somiya & Arai
Koji's calculation: DCPDCalculation
- Electronics status
In-vac DC PD amplifier board finalized JGW-D1809177
- In-air DC QPD amplifier board arrived (without chassis and interfaces)
ITMY inhomogeneity JGW-T1808715
- We should check impact on sensitivity and locking as soon as possible
- For both O3 and full bKAGRA
- Somiya is working on FINESSE model to calculate higher order content of AS (AS RF before OMC and AS DC after OMC)
- There was a discussion whether we should re-optimize OMC for BRSE or DRSE without homodyne angle optimization.
- We should check impact on sensitivity and locking as soon as possible
RF generation using Mach-Zehnder interferometer [Kohei Yamamoto] JGW-G1707309 JGW-G1807655 JGW-G1808029
- simulation on imperfections (MZ arm asymmetry, MZ lock, EOM phase difference control etc.)
- calculate requirements on MZI displacement, EOM modulation phase difference, EOM imbalance
- Requirements derived from full Optickle simulation and those derived from transfer function between displacement of MZI and sideband power kind of matched after implementing RAM into calculation for the latter. However, we need more investigation on the following issues:
- Modulation depth for RAM generating EOM changes the requirement.
- Spectrum shapes of the requirements for mid-fringe do not match. Maybe coming from accuracy of the mid-fringe?
- Unknown frequency response of the transfer function from the displacement of MZI and sideband power
- Check if caluculated RF oscillator amplitude noise is relative one or not with simple Optickle model
- calculations for requirements on delay line lock displacement noise, parallel EOM MZ lock displacement noise, EOM modulation phase difference, EOM imbalance on-going
Relative f1 PM and f1 AM also needs to be adjusted (CQG 31, 095003 (2014)). Another EOM for f1 or relative amplitude adjuster between two EOMs?
- Requirement on carrier power loss?
- Comment from Stefan Ballmer
- Similar calculation was done in LIGO in the past. Displacement noise requirement for MZ was tough (~1e-14 m/rtHz).
- Any in-air interferometer suffer from jitter and frequency noise which cannot be suppressed.
Ref: LIGO-T040119
- MZI implementation starts in May, probably before high power laser installation
- RF oscillator noise requirements for MZI should also be calculated
- 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 (x3, x5, x6, x7, x8, x10, x16 for f2/8 = 5.62698725 MHz (FSR for IMC))
Wenzel specsheet JGW-D1808028
- ordered two units on Apr 21 (takes 14 weeks)
It should be x2, x3, x6, x7, x8, x10, x16 (Michimura realized this on June 30)
Usage of 6 Agilent N5181B JGW-T1706762
- Current use: fFSS, fIMC, ISS AOM, f1, fALSX at UToyama, spare at Ando-Lab
- Possible use in near future: fPMC, fFSS, fIMC, fALSX, fALSY, ALS AOM, ISS AOM, f1, f2, f3
- buy new RF signal generators for fPMC and fFSS?
- Final use: fPMC, fFSS, fIMC, fALSX, fALSY, f1/f2/f3 with harmonics generator
- Use AOM drivers for ALS AOM and ISS AOM
- IMMT1 and IMMT2 transmission [Michimura, Takeda]
- IMMT2 transmission optics are too much squeezed
- DC QPD holder [Michimura]
beam height should be 4inch to use similar mount, with small modification of spacer (instead of 3inch in JGW-D1402607)
- RF PD, RF QPD boxes are designed for 4inch beam height
- stages are not needed for ISC DC QPD
design new ones; they can be very simple [-> Michimura?]
- calibration can be done in different ways
- put strain relief and anchors for cables to protect QPD board
- OMC and OFI [Somiya]
- look for OFI with larger aperture [Somiya]
- DC PD and DC QPD [Michimura]
- DC PD not available. Look for product with similar specs
- DC QPD available from RS
In-vacuum RF PD and RF QPD
- we need them within 1 year, considering OMC REFL and AS RF
In-vac beam-dumps
- required spec?
- Actuator noise modeling [Michimura,Miyamoto]
Summarized in the paper JGW-P1707051
- Needs to implement frequency noise, but FSS modeling with ALS is complicated [student!]
Discuss mirror vibration from heat link
- Meeting on July 14 [Yamada, Miyamoto, Ushiba, Michimura]
