Squeezer working point

After the ITF working point tuning i switched on the squeezer and I tuned it:

I increased the AA dither line by a factor 5 and I found the AA working point. New set points

  • CamNearX = -260
  • CamNearY = 70
  • CamFarX = -80
  • CamFarY = 322

I performed a phase scan from 0 to 3.14 rad with a ramp of 600s and I found that the maximum squeezing level correspond to the minimum of the magnitude subtracted by 0.25 rad (attachment 1).

I retuned the CC dither demodulation phase. The new CC parameters are

  • sqz_b1_phase = 0.667

  • phase_dither_phi0 = 5.3

  • phase_diter_set = 0.16e-3

I measured about -2.6 dB of squeezing in HREC both in the 1350-1750 Hz and 2600-2800 Hz bandwiths (attachment 2 normalized plot)

I left the squeezer switched on with the slow AA closed on dither lines and SLOW CC closed with the PyALP based servo loop

Phase scan (figure 1)

  • squeezing level -2.4 dB, antisqueezing level 5.3 dB.
  • Red line Darm 1350-1750 Hz, Blue Line: Darm 2600-2800 Hz, Yellow Line Hrec 2600-2800 Hz, Violet line Hrec 1350-1750 Hz, Green 2650-314 0Hz 
  • The green line is a BRMS computed with window of 1s whereas the other BRMSs are computed with 20s windows
  • The phase scan in DARM is less visible than in HREC: this was due to the bad CMRF of the ITF, so we had a lot of frequency noise
  • The phase noise was performed in a not good alignment condition so the maximum squeezing level was 2.4 dB
  • This is visible observing the B1_PD1_mag 3.0e-3V when was misaligned and 3.5e-3 V when I realigned it exploting the dither loop
  • The brms channel computed with 1 s windows is faster than the other, so it allow to computed better the phase distance between mag and sqz (0.33 rad)

Night Injection (figure 2)

  • The night injection, after the realignment started with -2.8 dB of squezzing in the bandwidth between 2650-3140Hz
  • After 6 hours the sqz level was decreased to -2.2 dB, but this was probably due to a 56MHz RIN, see B1s2 DC photodiode (second line of the plot)
  • After the locking seems that for long time we injected antisqueezing, but this can be due to hrec not updated or a bad working point of the itf. The phase error signal of the slow CC loop was in a good position and not drifted (third line)

Coherent control phase noise (figure 3)

I performed the CC phase noise calibration with two different methods

Method 1:

  1.  open shutter, CC open,
  2. Measure the Aplitude of the fringes and from them obtaining the V/rad
  3.  PD1cal =  0.00399 V/rad,   PD2cal =  0.10984 V/rad

Method 2:

  1.  Open shutter, Close CC,
  2.  perform a phase scan
  3.  plot SQZ_B1_PD{1,2}_Q as a function of the CC phase,
  4.  fit the linear part of the curve 
  5.  PD1cal =  0.00388 V/rad,  PD2cal =  0.11375 V/rad

The two methods are consistent. I computed the rms phase noise of the CC between 0.05Hz and 25 kHz and I obtained 20 mrad in loop (PD1) and 23 mrad out of loop (PD2).
