TMSX re-illuminated in green

Cont'd from 17428. We also visited TMSX. The ouput viewport window was covered (Fig. 1), so I removed it (Fig. 2), and then the transmitting green beam from ETMX could illuminate the DCPD (PDA100A), QPDs, and GigE cameras (Fig. 3; taken by K. Tanaka).

Post analysis

The TMSX Gr DCPD (K1:AOS-TMSX_GR_PDA1_OUT_DQ) provides about "21.5" when the green light enters it (Fig. 4), while "10" when shut. Anyway, there seems not filters active in the corresponding filter bank. Thus I can assume this number as a raw counts. So, 21.5cnt * 610uV/cnt = 13mV. The PDA gain was set to 10dB (Fig. 5). According to the manual of the PDA, in this setting, the gain is 4.75e3 V/A, so 13e-3/4.75e3 = 2.7 uA. In the same manual, the conversion factor of the PD is about 0.34 A/W at 532nm, so 2.7u/0.34 = 8uW. According to the layout, two 50/50 BSs are inserted between the viewport window to this PD, so the total power would  about 32 uW.

According to 17240, the PD that had been in EXA caught about 11uW. Extrapolating this number to the total Gaussian beam power 11uW should be divided by 1-Exp(-2*((r/w)^2)) = 0.078, where r =5mm and w =35/sqrt(2) mm. 11uW/0.078 = 140 uW should be the estimate power amount reached in EXA. The green transmittance of ETMX is 0.06 (see wiki), 140uW*0.06 = 8.4uW... On the other hand, in (rough) theory, 10mW-green-input*(0.06)^2 = 36uW should be here.

So the green power estimation from the TMSX PD and the theory seems consistent...

Attachment shows laser power at each place estimated from 8uW@TMSX.

The numbers in red are the laser power when it is reflected at ETMX and is coming back to POP,
and the numbers in green are when it is reflected by ITMX.

According to this estimation, laser power at each place is as follows
FI output: 12mW
RFPD (reflected at ETMX): 22uW
RFPD (reflected at ITMX): 6.1mW

On the other hand, measured power at RFPD (reflected at ETMX) was 16uW (See also klog17432.
I also calculated laser power at RFPD (reflected at ITMX) as 2.7mW (See Fig2.)

Inconsistency between the calculated power from RFPD value and TMSX value may come from the accuracy of the reflectance and transmittance of each mirror.
But the difference of inconsistency ratio (16uW/22uW vs. 2.7mW/6.1mW) may come from the treatment of the offset such as dark current noise.
Anyway we need to check more closely again.
