Estimation of actuator efficiency of BS/ITMX/ITMY with MICH

[Kenta, YamaT]
 

Abstract

Because inconsistency between measurements in recent these days and in the past was able to be explained,
we estimated the actuator efficiencies of BS_TM, ITMX_TM, and ITMY_TM.
There is no inconsistency on the estimated actuator efficiencies with past measurements such as klog#25024.
By the way, because of following issues, we re-measured optical gain and OLTF after the day-time work for this calibration.

1. OLTF in klog#29964 didn't seem to be saved.
When we open the XML file, measured transfer function is quite different from the attachment in klog#29964.

2. Fringes were seen on RFPD signals on measurement time in klog#29964 but VERTEX was in MICH_LOCKED at that time.
So we couldn't confirm correct situation and we decided to re-measure in reliable situation.
 

Details

1. Optical gain
We measured optical gain by the ellipse fitting of Michelson fringes. Used data is from GPS=1402745378 to GPS=1402746018. This is a time just after the OLTF measurement explained in the next section. Because we forgot to request PREF_FM_FOR_MICH, gain difference between MICH and PRMI gain discussed in klog#29958 should be taken into account (sorry for confusing).

One of fitting results is shown in Fig.1 and others are saved in /users/Commissioning/data/MICH/FSM/2024/0618. Time average of optical gain without gain correction is 3.164e+07 +/- 0.012e+07. And corrected optical gain from displacement to RF17_Q_ERR by a factor of 42.55 is 1.3461e+09 +/- 0.0052e+09. Finally, the actual optical gain from displacement to MICH_IN1 can be estimated by dividing the laser power norm as 1.182 and finally, we obtained actual optical gain as
H_mich = 1.1388e+09 +/- 0.0044e+06 ct/m

2. Actuator efficiency of BS
By using the OLTF and estimated optical gain in section 1, we estimated the BS actuator efficiency. Measured transfer function and MICH control model are shown in Fig.2. Best fit of actuator efficiency is as follows
H_bstm = 6.060e-11 +/- 0.042e-11 * (1Hz/f)^2 m/ct

Residual of measured TF and model with this H_bstm is shown in Fig.3. No major discrepancies are seen, so there should be no problem at present. From the view point of the validation of the our model function, it may be better to add measurement point at higher frequencies.

3. Actuator ratio of ITMs and BS
In order to measure the actuator ratio of ITMs and BS, we measured three transfer functions from BS (K1:VIS-BS_TM_CAL_EXC), ITMX (K1:VIS-ITMX_TM_CAL_EXC), and ITMY (K1:VIS-ITMY_TM_CAL_EXC) to the MICH error point (K1:LSC-MICH1_IN1). These transfer functions correspond to
  A_$(optic) * C_mich
------------------------
     1 + G_mich

So the ratio of two of these transfer functions correspond to the ratio of actuation functions from excitation point to the displacement when we assume that the time drift of the sensing function, C_mich, and open loop transfer functions, G_mich, can be ignored. In addition to this assumption, when we assume that a pendulum response of each optic is almost 1/f^2 in measured frequency region and individual difference of Anti-Imaging filters, and de-whitening filters in the coil drivers are also small enough, the ratio of two measurements correspond to the ratio of actuator efficiencies.

Raw measurement results of from BS, from ITMX, and from ITMY is shown in Fig.4, Fig.5, and Fig.6, respectively. In order to avoid kicking 7.5Hz resonance of Type-A suspensions when swept sine is injected from ITMX and ITMY, injection frequency is chosen above 8Hz. This will be better to re-consider in the future measurements with more complicated IFO configurations such as PRMI. Only phase of the TF from ITMY is 180deg different from another two. So polarity of each actuator seems to be correct. (The overplot of ITMX vs. BS and ITMY vs. BS is also shown in Fig.7 and Fig.8, respectively.)

Figure. 9 and figure. 10 shows the ratio of measured TFs from ITMX vs. from BS and from ITMY vs. from BS. Note that, in ITMY case, plot shows -A_ITMY/A_BS instead of +A_ITMY/A_BS for the visibility. From these ratio of two TFs, the ratio of actuator efficiencies computed as follows.
ITMX/BS = 0.04808 +/- 0.00042
ITMY/BS = -0.03585 +/- 0.00045


Finally, we obtained actuator efficiencies of ITMX and ITMY as the multiplication of BS actuator efficiency and these ratio as
A_itmxtm = 2.914e-12 +/- 0.032e-12 * (10Hz/f)^2
A_itmytm = -2.173e-12 +/- 0.031e-12 * (10Hz/f)^2.

Note that TypeA suspension model is normalized at 10 Hz for convenience in on-line calibration.

Abstract
I performed a cross-check.
I realized that the normalization frequency at A_itmxtm/A_itmy_tm is incorrect, A_itmxtm/A_itmytm values calculated by yamaT-asn are normlized at 1 Hz not 10 Hz.
Other values are consisitent within error.

Details
1. Optial gain (Free-Swinging Michelson)
i used finge data from 1402745378 to 1402745442 and estimate Optical gain.
The effects discussed in klog#29958 are taken into account in the value of optical gain in Fig.1.
H_mich = 1.1425e09 +/- 0.0159e09 [ct/m]

2. Actuaator efficiency of BS
Actuaator efficiency of BS, H_bstm, was determined by fitting from the OLTF measurements and MICH model.
Fig. 2 is the fitting results and Fig.3 is the residual plot.
H_bstm = 6.040e-11 +/- 0.016e-11 [m/ct] at 1 Hz

3. Actuaator efficiencies of ITMX/ITMY
By taking ITMs/BS * H_bstm, I estimated actuaator efficiencies of ITMs.
Therefore, the ratio of the two transfer functions, ITMs -> MICH_IN1 and BS -> MICH_IN1, was calculated.
Fig. 4/5 show ITMs/BS and the fitting results.
ITMX/BS = 4.808e-02 +/- 0.037e-02
ITMY/BS = 3.585e-02 +/- 0.036e-02


Finally, actuaator efficiencse of ITMs as below:
H_itmxtm = 2.904e-12 +/- 0.024e-12 [m/ct] at 1 Hz,
H_itmytm = 2.165e-12 +/- 0.023e-12 [m/ct] at 1 Hz.

Thanks and sorry for confusing, it's my mistake.

>> A_itmxtm = 2.914e-12 +/- 0.032e-12 * (10Hz/f)^2
>> A_itmytm = -2.173e-12 +/- 0.031e-12 * (10Hz/f)^2.

Values in the original post should be corrected as follows.

A_itmxtm = (ITMX/BS) * H_bstm
= [0.04808 +/- 0.00042] * [6.060e-11 +/- 0.042e-11 * (1Hz/f)^2 m/ct]
= 2.914e-12 +/- 0.032e-12 * (1Hz/f)^2
= 2.914e-14 +/- 0.032e-14 * (10Hz/f)^2

A_itmytm = (ITMy/BS) * H_bstm
= [-0.03585 +/- 0.00045] * [6.060e-11 +/- 0.042e-11 * (1Hz/f)^2 m/ct]
= -2.173e-12 +/- 0.031e-12 * (1Hz/f)^2
= -2.173e-14 +/- 0.031e-14 * (10Hz/f)^2

Abstract

We estimated the optical gain of MICH3f (we fortgot it and only optical gain of 1f and actuator efficiency was estimated in the previous work).
Optical gain of 3f estimated by Michelson fringes on 3f signal and by the propagation from Michelson fringes on 1f signal is consistent with ~4.2%.
Even if we use REFL_PDA1_DC instead of REFL_PDA2_DC which has strange behavior, we can estimate optical gain with enough consistency.
 

Details

Optical gain of MICH 3f
We noticed that the optical gain of MICH3f hadn't been estimated yet during parameter update work for the front-end calibration (see also klog#30126. So we evaluated it with the OLTF of 3f lock measured on Jun. 17th (klog3 29949).
My and Hido-kun's estimations which have been independently done are consistent with each other as shown below.
H_mich_3f = 1.0889e+09 +/- 0.0025e+09 [ct/m] (YamaT)
H_mich_3f = 1.0891e+09 +/- 0.0052e+09 [ct/m] (Hido)
My estimation is specified for the front-end calibration in which super-Nyquist effects cannot be corrected by foton's IIR filters.
Hido-kun's one focuses on the full offline calibration in which all known effects can be corrected by FIR filters.

Plots and residual of measurements and model transfer function are shown in Fig.1 and Fig.2.

Sanity check of optical gain estimation with Michelson fringes on 3f signal
We estimated the optical gain of 3f by following procedures because behavior of DC signal of REFL_PDA2 was strange.
1. Estimate optical gain of 1f by using Michelson fringes.
2. Estimate BS actuator efficiency by using optical gain of 1f and OLTF in 1f lock.
3. Estimate optical gain of 3f by using BS actuator efficiency and OLTF in 3f lock.

DC signals of RFPD at POP and REFL are calibrated to mW (POP_PDA1), count (POP_PDA2), mW (REFL_PDA1), and count (REFL_PDA2) as shown in Fig.3. Figure 4 shows readout value of these DC signals when we took Michelson fringes for the MICH calibration. We can see REFL_PDA2 crosses 0 count though waveform seems to be same as other PDs. So dark offset might not be subtracted in accurately enough. And also looking at these signals when the dark offset was evaluated in klog#29953, too large ADC counts were detected on REFL_PDA2 in Fig.5.

For these reasons, we avoided using REFL_PDA2_DC (and estimated optical gain of 3f by using Michelson fringes on 3f signal). But we can estimate optical gain of 3f by using these signals in principle. Now we have an estimated optical gain of 3f by using the Michelson fringes on 1f signal, so I tried to estimate it by using 3f signals as the cross check and the sanity check of PDA2_DC. In addition to this, Ushiba-kun suggested me to do a same estimation by using REFL_PDA2_RF51Q and REFL_PDA1_DC. Because REFL_PDA1 and REFL_PDA2 are put close position for light, so orthogonality between DC and RF might be able to be kept on different PDs.

Estimated optical gains of 3f are shown in Fig.6 (REFL_PDA2_RF51Q vs. REFL_PDA2_DC) and Fig.7 (REFL_PDA2_RF51Q vs. REFL_PDA1_DC). Fringe data was picked up from GPS=1402745378 ~ 1402745890. At this time, PRMIcal (FM9) was engaged in PD filterbank instead of MICHcal (FM8) as reported in klog#29958. For compensating this effect, we need to correct estimated optical gain as a factor of 22.407 (On REFL_PDA2_RF51, MICHcal is 242.435 and PRMIcal is 10.8197). In addition to this, estimated gain (from displacement to REFL_PDA2_RF51Q_ERR) can be converted one from displacement to MICH1_IN1 by dividing laser power norm as 1.182. Finally we obtained optical gain we want as
H_mich_3f = 1.0433e+09 +/- 0.0049e+09 [ct/m]
= 5.5013e+07 (raw value in Fig.5) * 22.407 (PD filterbank) / 1.182 (power norm)

With the same manner, we obtained optical gain by using REFL_PDA1_DC which is case of Fig.6 as
H_mich_3f = 1.0436e+09 +/- 0.0049e+09 [ct/m]
= 5.5029e+07 (raw value in Fig.6) * 22.407 / 1.181542
 
A difference between estimated value with Michelson fringes in 1f signal and 3f signal is consistent with ~4.2%.
This is not so large impact but it may be interesting to investigate where this difference comes from.
A difference between estimated value with REFL_PDA1_DC and REFL_PDA2_DC is negligible, so REFL_PDA1_DC seems to be used for at least quick calibration.
