16. ILIAS WG1 meeting, Frascati 21.03.06 – Gabriele Vajente16 Part 2 Automatic Noise Budget Project

17. ILIAS WG1 meeting, Frascati 21.03.06 – Gabriele Vajente17 Automatic Noise Budget Purpose To measure precise projection of technical noises into dark fringe (or other channels) Why To precisely identify the contribution of the most important noise sources To track the evolution of noise couplings To gain data to model noise couplings

18. ILIAS WG1 meeting, Frascati 21.03.06 – Gabriele Vajente18 Method 1.Measure transfer function from error/correction signal to dark fringe with noise injection 2.Project the normal noise using the measured TF Interferometer Control loop Dark fringe NOISE SINGLE CAVITY

19. ILIAS WG1 meeting, Frascati 21.03.06 – Gabriele Vajente19 TF measurement methods Full measurement By injecting (white) noise into each channel separately Slow (at least 60s per channel) Precise measurements of TFs Might cause saturation problems or unlocks Need to “shape” the noise Fast measurement Measure once the TFs with full method Use calibration lines to correct their overall gain Fast (can inject lots of lines simultaneously) Might be not very precise Can easily track time evolution Lines measurement Inject several (10) lines for each d.o.f. at different frequencies Need to know the approximate shape of the TF Faster than full, more accurate than fast Less saturation problems

20.
