This project aims to develop advanced digital suspension electronics, similar to those used in LIGO, for a 40m system. The requirements include precise coil drivers, effective noise filtering, and modeling to validate the performance. Future work includes completing controls wiring, ordering necessary components, installing modules, and commissioning the suspension electronics.

Requirements • Digital Suspension should be as Advanced LIGO-like as possible. • Coil Drivers should be sufficient to move the 1.3Kg optics with a dynamic range on order 30m p-p in length, and 1.5mrad p-p in angle. • Filtering should meet 10-20 m/Hz noise requirement. Benjamin Abbott G010385-00-R
Modeling • Modeling done in Simulink • Intended to prove that small optic controllers are sufficient for 40m core optics. • Noise suppression was evaluated. Benjamin Abbott G010385-00-R
