Agenda
- Useful links to know KAGRA interferometer design and status
List of optical parameters OptParam
MIF Design document JGW-T1200913
Interferometer design paper Phys. Rev. D 88, 043007 (2013)
Latest KAGRA status paper arXiv:2005.05574
Summary of measurements related to the interferometer so far Minutes20200309
O4 schedule JGW-E1809209
- Interferometer issues which require simulation studies
ITMs have different transmission (ITMX: 0.444 % ITMY: 0.479%) JGW-T1910352
ITMs have inhomogeneity Phys. Rev. D 100, 082005 (2019)
ITMs have inhomogeneous birefringence JGW-G1910369, JGW-G1910388, JGW-T2011633
So far no success in locking DRFPMI JGW-G2011693
WFS not working well JGW-G2011687
Laser intensity and frequency noise couplings are too high JGW-T2011662
Carrier power recycling gain for PRMI (roughly 3) and PRFPMI (11-12) are too different, which could be due to the Lawrence effect JGW-T2011633

Activities in University of Toyama using COMSOL JGW-E1910382
- Thermal lensing ?
- Simulation activities necessary
- LSC and ASC simulations with current ITMs and current interferometer setup
- Especially LSC simulations not done for PRFPMI and DRMI, and 3f locking
- Compare measured LSC and ASC sensing matrices with simulations
- Compare measured recycling gain (for carrier and sidebands) with simulations
- Compare measured AS mode content with simulations
- Compare measured MICH/PRCL/SRCL controls noise coupling with simulations
- Compare measured intensity/frequency noise coupling with simulations
- LSC and ASC simulations with current ITMs and current interferometer setup
