FIS Measurement in reflection from the filter cavity

Today we measured for the first time the SQZ reflected from the filter cavity. The MZ set was -0.05

Step 1: send IR to the filter cavity

  • We switched SC
  • We locked the SC PLL and the Int PLL
  • We turned on the SC AA
  • We rotated the HWP_2 in order to have a part of the power transmitted by the two FI toward the ITF
  • We moved the IR mirrors M3_Mt1 and M5 in order to unclip the subcarrier reflected by the input of the filter cavity
  • We checked the clip on the HD cameras and SQB1 Cameras
  • We misaligned by 500urad in TY the end mirror of the filter cavity

Step 2: SQZ measurement preparation

  • We close the CC fast and slow. Fast Gain 50
  • We engaged the HD AA in order to superpose LO and CC with dither line amplitude 10 mV
  • We moved IR_M3_MT1 and IR_M5 in order to maximize the magnitude i the homodyne detector with the AA closed  IR_M3_MT1_X = -6.5V IR_M3_MT1_Y = 0 V IR_M5_X  = -0.9V  M5_Y =   0.2V
  • We set the phase of HD DIFF RF 4 MHz demod phase at 0 deg

Step 3: SQZ Measurement

  • Phase scan: 17:53 UTC
  • 2 Mins of SQZ: 18:14 UTC
  • 2 Mins of ASQZ: 18:18:30 UTC
  • Shot noise reference: 17:27:10 UTC and 18:22:30 UTC
  • CC open phase noise: 17:32 UTC 2 min

SQZ Level = 1.9 dB at 2.55 rad

ASQZ level = 6.1 dB at 1.5 rad

Data will be analyzed

For a misunderstanding we realized that the retroreflector on SQB1 was high. Thus yesterday we measured for the first time the FIS backreflected from SQB1. The additional losses with respect to the measurement on EQB1 are probably due to the FI on SQB1. We will try to tune better the two waveplates.

Indeed when sending the beam on the EQB1 delay line the signal on HD detectors increases, showing an extra loss of about 13% on SQB1. see Fig 1 and Fig1zoom.

After tuning the waveplate 1 of SQB1 FI we could reduce the extra loss to zero within the power fluctuations of less than 1%, see Fig2 and Fig2zoom.
