Today
The light source of the SR3 was borrowed by SR2 so I placed the new light source on the SR3 OPLEV breadboard at the transmit side.
I replaced the focuser with a 1.1 m collimator.
The beam was realigned so that the reflected beam has minimal displacement in the T direction and is as close to the center of the TM as it could get.
I measured varies distances that are requried for obtaining the OL2EUL matrix.
- viewport to steering mirror (where the beam spot is): 300 mm
- steering mirror to tile QPD: 160 mm
- steering mirror to BS: 50 mm
- BS to lens: 50 mm
- So the length sensing QPD should be put at 382.5 mm behind the lens with 300 mm focal length
- lens to folding mirror: 115 mm
- folding mirror to LEN QPD: 267.5 mm
I will calibrate the QPDs tomorrow. The OPLEV for the SR3 should be ready by tomorrow.
