Closed Yarm ASC : REFLWFS RF17 --> IY,EY TM

C.Hirose K.Tanaka

We tried changing actuater from IMMT1 and PR2 to IY and EY because WFS are not seem to detect IMMT2 and PR2 angle singal. ( klog23101 : About that work, we didn't try to measure PLANT using swept sin. It is possible that PLANT was measured. But the power spectrum results didn't seem to show it in WFS. )
We could close Yarm ASC and the feedback was successful because the error moved when the offset was changed.
We will soon measure open loop transfer function and intensity noise, etc.

Preparation

  • IY and EY with OLDAMP (TM -> MI) turned on and ADS(TMSY -> IMMT2,PR2) turned on (like klog23026).
    After the ADS settled down, both were turned off.
  • (Preparation turning on ASC) Pass IY, EY control paths.
  • Substituted DC offset for QPD in WFS. (We did not assign it for every measurement. We post the current offset.)

Process

  1. First of all, We measured IYEY's sensing matrix.
    (Sensing matrix data:/users/Commissioning/data/ASC/2022/REFL_WFS/Yarm/Sensmat/221207/TF_ASC_Yarm_REFLWFS_OPLEV_{ITMY,ETMY}_{P,Y}.xml)
  2. We set matrix to make IY and EY sensor.
    (Script: Sensingmatrix_IYEY.txt)
  3. We measured IY and EY plant and make filters that UGF is 0.1Hz.
    (PLANT data : /users/Commissioning/data/ASC/2022/REFL_WFS/Yarm/PLANT/221210/PLANT_ETMY_DHARD_PIT.xml, PLANT_ETMY_DHARD_YAW{,_2,_3}.xml, PLANT_ITMY_DSOFT_{PIT,YAW}{,_2}.xml)
    DHARD--> ETMY(Test Mass)
    CHARD--> ITMY (Test Mass)
  4. We turned on Yarm ASC--->> We could close Yarm ASC.

What we noticed

  • We set offset to high and error singal is gone to low.(I will repost picutures.)
  • DHARD and DSOFT PIT is very slow to feedback IY and EY.
    So we tried to adjust gain (1->10) and feedback control of them is become a little fast.
    It is possible that the PLANT was not measured properly.
  • But offset is 4000count is high that angle can be tited ±1urad, filter is facturated.
    The range should be slightly larger because the ASC has to compensate.
    For example, we should consider feeding back to MI instead of TM to increase the range.
    (I'm sorry. These is no picture. We will take the screenshot.)

About DC offset of WFSs 
(Recorded timeline of work : klog_221214.pdf)

  • After turning off ADS, we observed for 10 minutes and had the impression that the DC offset was not moving.
    However, we cannot consider how much the DC offset moves because we have not been able to calculate how much it affects the control.
  • Originally, it is assumed that the incident axis and cavity axis are aligned by ADS, so we had to cancel the DC offset appearing in the WFS. 
    But after 10 minutes, RF17 of REFLWFS2 which is used for control was close to 0 due to drift, so we started the ASC work without changing the RF17. 
  • With all loops on, the DCoffset of RF17 for QPD1 and 2, which are used for control, has been zero.
    The figure shows the offset value of the QPDs when the proper gain is put in all controls. (It shows how we checked by changing the gains and offsets sometimes.)
  • The DC offset needs to be looked into.

I recorded time scale when it turned on ASC (DHARD(EY) and DSOFT(IY) of PIT and YAW).
I also measured open loop transferfanction and power spectrum.

Time scale // 
I changed the OPLEV setpoints for each degree of freedom on the test mass, shifting them by 2urad for PIT and 1urad for YAW.
The OPLEV setpoints in the test mass are good oprev set with initial alignment (including ASC by ADS),
so it is best that the angle of the mirror returns to what it was before misalignment when ASC is turned on.
The mirror angle returned to that angle and the transmission power increased slightly when ASC was turned on.
## DSOFT_PIT has a period of time where the amount of shift in oprev is changed for a moment, but the amount of shift from good oprev is 2urad

Open loop transfer fanction(OLTF) // 

I measured OLTF of PIT and YAW. But UGF of DSOFT PIT is too small and DHARD_PIT is unclear about the status during the measurement.
So It keeps the results predicted from the time series.

  Unity Gain Frequency phase margin[deg]
DHARD(EY) PIT 0.16[Hz] ?? 
DHARD(EY) YAW 0.14[Hz] about 40[deg]
DSOFT(IY) PIT 0.016[Hz] ??
DSOFT(IY) YAW 0.12[Hz] about 30[deg]

Power spectrum // I measured the error and feedback signals for each degree of freedom, as well as the Yarm frequency noise and transmission light power.
The power spectrum has not decreased in any of the UGF ranges.
The frequency noise has rather gone up above 1Hz.
It is possible that the filter is not canceling out the noise received by the WFS.
As an out of loop, I measured the OLDAMP of EY and IY.
It went up when ASC was turned on, although only slightly in the UGF range.
This is not good because the mirror is being moved by ASC.
I also measured the power spectrum of TMSY's QPD as an out-of-loop.
The noise at 0.8Hz seems to have been eliminated, but still no overall change.

I will post my discussion at a later.

My disccution

  • A phase margin of 30 deg is the minimum to ensure stability. If locking is difficult, we can consider decreasing the gain a little more.
  • I summarized the error signal counts for the mirror tilt (oplev set point). This sutulation is under putting DCoffset (like klog23230)
    To find out if this is a misalignment component, it is necessary to engage the ASC with the assigned offset removed and see if the transmitted light increases.
    However, in this case, it is returned from WFS to TM.
    When I lock the ASC with the ASC PIT misaligned (IY and EY at the same time) 2urad misaligned, the ASC saturates because it clearly does not have enough range.
    The range can be increased if the method returns to the MI stage instead of the TM stage. We will try that.
