Progress in last 2 months • Use CARM DC signal to creep closer to full arm resonance (signal goes away at resonance) • combined PRC and arm gain as high as 60, 85% of the way to peak, corresponding to offset of 8 pm, assuming arm losses of 200ppm (inferred). • Progress due largely to improvements in loop filtering, to obtain more gain and reduce noise • Also significant improvements in automation of lock procedures. • all DOFs diagonalized (3x3 + 2x2) • Lock is lost because of large frequency noise (presumably) • Effort to reduce frequency noise using CM servo • digital CM servo to MC works well • analog servo using DC signal seems to work, RF under development • Much effort to reduce frequency noise • Noise may be coming from in-vac PZTs 40m TAC, 10/13/05
