Profiling green beam at TMSY's Gouy phase telescope at Yend

K. Tanaka, Akutsu

Measured profiles of a green beem in the gouy phase telescope (GPT) of the TMSY at Yend. We found that  the waist radius was ~ only 50 um, while the design should be around 200 um. We did not adjust QPDs for the green GPT today.

  • Fig. 1 is the result of the fitting to the measured data. The gouy phases for horizontal and vertical are also shown. It might not be impossible to put the QPDs by separating 90-120 deg but...
  • Fig 2-5 are the display for the beam profiler WinCamD-LCM, which we used today. As shown in Fig. 6, we used the sensor head upside-down so that the USB cable won't intefere against the other optics.
  • Fig 2 and 3 are of before the waist. Fig 4 is close to the waist. Fig 5 is of after the waist.

According to my rough estimation, to help this situation, for example the lens for this green GPT should be replaced from the current one (f=500mm) with a one with 1000 mm focal length as follows:

  • Let q0 is the q-parameter just before the lens. Let q1 is just after the lens. So 1/q1 = 1/q0 -1/500.
  • The distance from the lens to the 50um-waist is about (18+8)*25 = 650 mm, so q1 = -650 + i Zr, here the Rayleigh range Zr = pi*(50e-3)^2/532e-6 = 14.7 mm.
  • So, q0 = 2150.8123 +161.7796*i, which means the waist radius of this beam is ~0.16 mm; this is relativelly collimated but out of the Raylegih range. So changing the location of the lens like 10-20 mm would not affect so much the real part of q0. Such changes would just change the position of the waist after the lens with almost preserving the waist size... So you need to consider changing the forcal lenth of the lens, such as 1100 mm to obrain nice waist size instead of 50 um.

The zero point of the measurement is shown in the attached figure as "origin"; 3 screw holes from GBS2. = 75 mm away from GBS2.

The original drawing is JGW-T1808962-v7. Note that the drawing will be changed later, as our aim is to re-locate those GQPDs!!

The attached spectra are raw signals from TMSY Gr QPDs after I re-located (and before we turned off the green light the last night). Hopefully, it would become useful... It seems the TMSY-GR is still less sensitive than those TM oplevs due to turbulence. We need a wind shield for the Gr QPDs if we would like to make it more sensitive, but you know, it would not be so easy to cover the setup now... (Fig 1 shows all, Fig 2 show just the TMS-related signals.)

By the way, Fig 3 and 4 show the beam spots where the GQPD1 and 2 were located, respectively. Well, more precisely putting, I just expect they were located where those figures were taken.
