Method used to identify a noise limiting the sensitivity curve 1. First step : To identify the possible noise sources Method : to look at the coherence function between the dark fringe signal and other channels (correction signals sent to the mirrors, monitoring signals) 2. Second step : To understand how the noise propagates from the source to the dark fringe signal Method : to find a mathematical model of propagation 3. Final step : The model is compared to the sensitivity curve Validation of the analysis : the noise is identified and its propagation mechanism is understood 8

16
Laser 0 B2 B1_ACp + - Beam Splitter B2_ACp B2_ACq + + C4 run : Noise Sources Beam Splitter longitudinal control noise 16
17
First step : looking for coherent channels to identify the sources Coherence function between the dark fringe signal and the correction signal sent to the Beam Splitter Good coherence up to 50 Hz : noise introduced by the Beam Splitter longitudinal control loop ? 17
18
Goal : to convert the noise introduced by the Beam Splitter control loop into an equivalent displacement (Differential Mode) Model : fft(Correction signal) x TF(Actuators) x 2 x 1/32 Second step : Building of a propagation model Longitudinal correction sent to the Beam Splitter (Volts) Actuators Volts meters Resonant Fabry-Perot 32 round-trips Global control B2 quadrature Due to geometry of the Beam Splitter 18 L (meters) DAC Correction signal (Volts) Coil Driver i (Ampères) Newton Electronics of the actuators Pendulum Zoom on the actuators TF(Actuators) = TF(electronics) x TF(pendulum) x K( volts meters) fft : “amplitude spectrum” TF : “Transfer Function”
19
C4 sensitivity Beam Splitter longitudinal control noise model Conclusion : the model is validated noise is introduced by the Beam Splitter control loop Final step : The model is compared to the Sensitivity curve 10-30Hz : model is 2 times lower than sensitivity there is another source of noise (Beam Splitter angular corrections) 30-50Hz : good agreement between model and sensitivity (Input Bench resonances region, see R. Flaminio’s talk, last WG1 meeting, Jan 2005) 19
20
Remember what happened during C4... Low frequency : C4 sensitivity dominated by Beam Splitter control noise (B2_ACq) and tx angular control noise (sent to the mirror, Sc_BS_txCmir) 20
21
Low frequency : Coherence between control signals and dark fringe signal 1-100 Hz : coherence between B1_ACp and Beam Splitter control signals (longitudinal z + angular tx) How the contribution of Beam Splitter control noises (z and tx) in sensitivity can be estimated ? the coherence between the two noise sources (Sc_BS_zCorr and Sc_BS_txCmir) has to be taken into account 21 Dark fringe & BS z Correction Dark fringe & BS tx Correction
22
Computation of BS longitudinal & angular control noise contributions in sensitivity Notation : X0 = noise on dark fringe signal X1 = noise from Sc_BS_zCorr (BS z correction) ; X2 = noise from Sc_BS_txCmir (BS angular correction) ; X3 = another noise (not coherent with X1 and X2) Assuming : X0 = a. X1 + b. X2 + c. X3 complex coefficients a and b have to be computed Method : Solve the following system where :refers to the complex coherence between the variables X and Y Then the total contribution of Beam Splitter control noise in sensitivity is given by : Individual contribution of BS length control noise Individual contribution of BS tx control noise Remark : X0, X1, X2, X3 are normalised 22
23
BS longitudinal (z) & angular (tx) control noise contributions in sensitivity : obtained from coherence functions txCmir Input Bench mechanical resonances BS z Correction BS_zCorr txCmir + BS_zCorr C5 recombined sensitivity BS z control noise BS tx angular control noise m/sqrt(Hz) Common contribution between the 2 sources of noise (z & tx control) has been substracted 23
24
BS longitudinal control noise : Model compared to Coherence computation C5 recombined sensitivity model : BS z control noise Estimation from coherence : BS z control noise Good agreement for IB mechanical resonances Same result for C4 and C5 : Input bench resonances propagated by BS z control loop Error signal : B2_ACq Model : fft(Correction signal) x TF(Actuators) x 2 x 1/32 24
25
How do Input Bench (IB) resonances couple into B2_ACq ? Summary of R. Flaminio’s talk (3rd WG1 meeting, Jan 2005) : Mechanical resonances driven by IB local control noise & coil driver noise produce IMC length variations Frontal modulation : if mistuning of modulation frequency with respect to IMC length : A-A- A+A+ A0A0 l IMC (a.u.) IMC length variation produces sidebands amplitude variation if A+ , then A- noise seen on the quadrature signals (B2_ACq) Conclusion : Now, the propagation mechanism of IB resonances into “Beam Splitter longitudinal control noise” is understood 25

31
C4 recombined sensitivity DAC noise (WI+WE+NI+NE) Conclusion : DAC noise limits C4 sensitivity between 80 Hz and 300 Hz Final step : The DAC noise model is compared to the Sensitivity curve 31
32
DAC noise & C5 recombined sensitivity After C4 : new coil drivers installed to DAC noise C5 recombined sensitivity DAC noise (WI+WE+NI+NE) x 1/30 DAC noise from west & north towers does not limit C5 sensitivity But : what about DAC noise from Beam Splitter (with coil drivers still in high noise) ? Hz m/sqrt(Hz) 32
33
BS contribution for DAC noise of C5 Hz m/sqrt(Hz) Model for BS DAC noise : fft(DAC noise) x TF(Pendulum) x K(Volts DAC meters) x 2 x 1/32 Number of round-trips in Fabry-Perot cavity For BS : DAC noise is extrapolated from measurement done on west and north towers C5 recombined sensitivity DAC noise on (WI+WE+NI+NE) DAC noise on Beam Splitter Beam Splitter DAC noise 3 times higher than the contribution of arms towers But still lower than sensitivity curve 33

42
Low frequency : Coherence between control signals and dark fringe signal low frequency (1 20Hz) : coherence between B1_ACp and the angular correction signal sent to WI (in tx) (local control noise) 15 - 100 Hz, B1_ACp is coherent with : BS longitudinal control signal BS angular control signal (BS_txCmir) Already seen with recombined PR longitudinal control signal (maybe due to coupling between BS and PR displacements) 42
43

44
High frequency : Electronic noise (B1_ACp) x 40 Electronic noise (shutter closed) at the same level as Shot noise when power reaches B1 : noise of B1_ACp by a factor 40 follows linearly the amount of signal seen on the B1_ACq Suspected origin : phase noise from LO board (Oscillator distribution board) or Marconi (Oscillator generator) C5 recycled sensitivity Electronic noise (with closed shutter) Shot noise Phase noise ( model with = 0.45 rad/ (Hz) ) 44
45
Phase noise from the LO signal to B1_ACp The signal arriving on the photodiode is the sum of “in phase” and “in quad” components : S= S p + S q = s p cos ( t) + s q sin ( t) with =2 f mod Demodulation process S multiplied by the oscillator : LO=cos ( t+ 0 ) ACp = S x LO p = (s p cos ( t) + s q sin ( t)) x cos ( t) = s p /2 ( 0 = 0) ACq = S x LO q = (s p cos ( t) + s q sin ( t)) x sin ( t) = s q /2 ( 0 = 90) If there is phase noise : LO = cos ( t + + 0 ) ACp = (s p cos ( t) + s q sin ( t)) x cos ( t + ) = (s p + s q ) /2 ACp contains phase noise proportionally to the ACq level. 45
46

II - Second approach : Simulation 48
49
What are the goals of simulation ? Simulation can confirm results extracted from Commissioning runs data useful to check the agreement between models and simulation In recycled mode : we can expect strong coupling between several degrees of freedom of the ITF more difficult to find simple models simulation is needed to understand propagation mechanism of noises example : simulation has been used to analyse the introduction of photodiodes electronic noise by the locking control loops of the recycled Models can depend on not well known parameters : simulation is needed to obtain an estimation of these parameters example : Common Mode Rejection Ratio (which depends on the 2 arms asymmetry) 49
50

67
With dF/F=0.01 Finesse asymmetry = 1% DC gains asymmetry = 10% At low frequency, CMRR is limited by the DC gains asymmetry (and no more by the finesse asymmetry) High frequency: CMRR limited by finesse asymmetry effect Effect of an asymmetry on the DC gains of the control filters (added to a finesse asymmetry) An asymmetry of the Mechanical responses have a similar effect as an asymmetry on the DC gains of the filters 67
