Continuous breathing around 60Hz

The recent spectrum seemed to keep breathing around 60Hz (Fig.2) and high frequency ranges (Fig.3).
So the calculated BNS sensitivity became in the range of 5 Mpc. 
 

One concern is that Fig.4 shows not only the green beam images on PR2/baffle that was recognized as before but also a red or IR (violet) image that newly appeared. This might show the some optical alignment and/or beam paths differences around IMMT1/2, PRM, PR2 and PR3. If this red or violet image disappeared at the timing of a lock loss, it should be IR from somewhere.

Please note that this camera has IR filter. So a weak IR cannot be detected. If the camera shows violet images, it means that IR is relatively strong.

Fig. 2/1 shows the images before and after power-up at PRFPMI during the lock process.

The violet image appeared after power-up. So it could be the IR scattered light from somewhere. Please note that the violet image could be generated by the direct injection into the camera from somewhere, not the image on the PR2 baffles. 

In addition, the recent several unlocks seemed not to be related to seismic noise shocks. So strong glitches due to scattered light or beam cutting by baffles could be lock loss sources.

(Violet image visibility depends on your monitor color/brightness/etc. setting. )
