Ushiba, Komori, Tanaka (original idea by Fujimoto-kun?)
Ushiba-san modified the script of TOF measuremet for schnupp asymmentry in order to be able measure the PRC length. We ran the script and tried to measure the REFL PDA3 RF45 optimal demod. phases for Xarm and PRMI, respectively. This time, we locked PRMI with the 1f signal (VERTEX guardian state is PRMI_1F_LOCKED). The basic procedure is the same as in klog36343.
Each optimal demod. phase for PRMI and Xarm is written as follows,
where, omega_{mod} is a modulation angular frequency, L_{A2B} is a distance from A to B (A,B: EOM, PD, PRM, BS, ITMX), and c is a speed of light. These phase difference is derived as
we can derive
## Results
Fig.1 and Fig.2 show the results of measurements for Xarm and PRMI, The optimal demod. phases of REFL PDA3 RF45 for Xarm and PRMI were 230.14 degrees and 117.80 degrees, respectively. (I forgot to note the error value...)
If I assumed 20*360 degrees additional rotation because 45 MHz is 20 times FSR of PRMI, L_PRCL + L_asym/2 = 2.9979e8 * (20*360 + 230.14 -117.80) / (2*360 * 8* 5.624365513 MHz) ~ 67.67 m
It seems to be inconsistent with the design value (L_PRCL + L_asym/2 = 66.591 + (26.6649 - 23.3351)/2 = 68.2559 m (ref. JGWwiki)).
We are not sure of the cause of this discrepancy. We suspect that the RF45 sideband is not exactly at the anti-resonance point of the PRMI. As a result, its reflection phase deviates from 180°. This effect is expected to be more noticeable in the low-finesse PRMI than in the high-finesse X arm cavity.
But we did not confirm whether the SNR is enough or not with PRMI configration. We need more investigation.
