SCATTERED LIGHT CONTROL in ADVANCED LIGO Michael Smith LIGO Laboratory Caltech, Pasadena, CA Advanced LIGO
Scattered Light Displacement NoiseTheory • Min Gravity Wave Signal • Scattered Light • Noise • Phase Shift due to motion of surface • Requirement: LIGO II
Stray Light Design Requirement • <1/10 of the thermal noise limit strain LIGO II
Total Scattered Light Displacement Noise from Multiple Sources, m/rtHz • Sources Are Random, Add in Quadrature • Scattered Light Transfer functions LIGO II
Scattered Light Transfer Functionsfrom FFT simulation Worse scatter paths LIGO T060073 Hiro Yamamoto LIGO II
Scattered Injection Points LIGO II
Scattered Power into IFO • Scattered power depends upon: • Incident power hitting scattering surface, W • Bidirectional Scatter Distribution Function of scattering surface, BRDF, sr^-1 • Solid angle subtended by the mode inside IFO arm, sr • Relative area ratio of IFO mode area to the area of incident beam waist • Transmissivity of optical path from scatter surface to the injection point LIGO II
Measuring BRDF LIGO II
Cleanliness Is Next To Godliness • Dust particles scattering light on the sample surface! LIGO II
