Minutes
- DRFPMI trial was done when the alignment is not so good. With current alignment, DRFPMI might be possible [Masayuki]
- We also need to consider if compound SRM is good or not. If not, we have to think about making a monolithic 0% SRM or 70% SRM (takes 0.5 years?). [Matteo]
- Compound SRM was used for aLIGO O1 and O2, but KAGRA might have more issue with compound SRM since KAGRA have more HOMs at AS [Koji A.]
- If ITM re-polishing is necessary to compensate TWE map, it takes 1 year with the most optimistic case to do them. [Matteo]
- The effect of contrast defect and frequency/intensity noise coupling should be measured more directly. [Koji A.]
- A/I for Michimura
- Add these discussion to the document and send it to SEO

Agenda
We want to know what to do for O4 with birefringence and ITM transmission asymmetry https://gwdoc.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=11541
- Cryogenic temperature?
- SRM reflectivity: 0% or 70% or 85%
- Polarizers in PRC and SRC?
- ITM transmission asymmetry: re-coating necessary?
- Summary of measurements so far
X-arm round-trip loss from reflectivity is 86(3) ppm (if we assume no birefringence) https://klog.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/osl/?r=7307
ITMX and ITMY single bounce has 12% and 15% loss, respectively, including ITM transmission and losses to p-pol. Losses to p-pol measured at POP was 9.4% for ITMX and 4.6% for ITMY. Considering BS reflectivity is different for s-pol and p-pol., this corresponds to 6.1% for ITMX single bounce and 11% for ITMY single bounce. https://klog.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/osl/?r=9314 https://gwdoc.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=10369 https://gwdoc.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=10388
Carrier power recycling gain for PRMI was about 3, which corresponds to PRC intra-cavity loss of 25% or so. Considering the sloshing effect, this is reasonable. http://klog.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/osl/?r=9300
The mount of p-pol from ITMX is smaller by a factor of 3 with X-arm locked (mode healing effect). http://klog.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/osl/?r=9393
Carrier power recycling gain when PRFPMI is locked is 12 for X-arm and 10 for Y-arm. http://klog.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/osl/?r=12639
X-arm round-trip loss, finesse, and mode healing effect altogether gives X-arm loss on reflection give 86 ppm * ~1000 + 6.1 % / 3 = 11 % loss. So may be PRG of 10-12 for the carrier is reasonable. This is also consistent with X-arm reflectivity measurement done before we are aware of birefringence issue. https://klog.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/osl/?r=7307
- Power recycling gain for the sidebands are 2 or so (very rough estimate).
- DRMI on 1f is fine. Lasts 30 min or so.
DRMI on 3f lasts 5 min or so. https://klog.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/osl/?r=12535
CMRR for intensity noise. https://klog.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/osl/?r=13028

- List of measurements to be done before the vent for O4
- Try DRFPMI locking for one more week.
Updated shot noise calculation https://klog.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/osl/?r=12772
- X-arm and Y-arm reflectivity/loss measurements with polarization considered
Re-measurement of CMRR for frequency noise https://klog.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/osl/?r=13069
- Measure power recycling gain for sidebands (POP 2f with FPMI locked and PRFPMI locked)
- DRFPMI LSC and ASC sensing matrix
- MICH/PRCL/SRCL to DARM coupling
- Measure MICH contrast defect with MICH locked and FPMI locked
- OMC cavity scan to scan mode content of AS beam
- Measure if there are any structure to DARM sensitivity coming from compound SRM.
- Scattered light measurement in PRC by sweeping PRM and PR2/3 deferentially.
- List of calculations to be done
- DRFPMI LSC and ASC sensing matrix with birefringence and ITM transmission asymmetry
- Frequency noise and intensity noise coupling with birefringence and ITM transmission asymmetry
- MICH/PRCL/SRCL to DARM coupling with birefringence and ITM transmission asymmetry
O4 Schedule https://gwdoc.icrr.u-tokyo.ac.jp/cgi-bin/private/DocDB/ShowDocument?docid=9209
- Executive summary (tentative)
- We are not sure yet whether birefringence is limiting our sensitivity and stability. DRFPMI locking probably possible with current interferometer.
- Putting polarizers inside PRC and SRC might improve the sensitivity and stability, but it might introduce some extra issue (thermal lens, extra loss, scattered light etc).
- May be better to focus on characterization of the interferometer and the preparation of better ITMs rather than the preparation of polarizers.
- It is always good to prepare for the unexpected if we have manpower and money. Preparing polarizers now might save our lives in the future.
- Measurement listed above must be performed before the vent for O4 to characterize the current situation and to make a plan for O4.
