Length QPD position along the optic axis
- We applied a sinusoidal function at 200 mHz to TM-Y.
- We measured amplitude spectral densities (ASD) of the four QPD readout channel for different positions of the QPD along the optic axis. We used a resolution of 30 mHz.
- As can be seen in the Fig. 1, the position that minimizes the readout in LEN HOR is 3 mm and we set the QPD at such a position. The data is in the spreadsheet attached.
- Figs. 2 and 3 show examples of the ASD for 3 and 3.91 mm respectively.
QDP readout calibration in terms of its displacement
- The data is in the spreasheet attached.
- The attached plots only show the data in the linear range. Plots with the whole datasets are in the attached spreadsheet.
- In ndscope style notation, the channel names used are K1: VIS-SRM_TM_OPLEV_{LEN,TILT}_{HOR,VER}_IN1.
- The unit name du stands for "displacement units".
QPD parameter | calibration factor (du/mm) | Linear range (mm) |

LEN HOR | -6.73 | [ 8.14 , 8.34 ] |
TILT VER | 1.30 | [ 8.65 , 9.65 ] |
