______________________________________________________ 40m dual recycling upgrade cavity lengths PRELIMINARY AJW, 9/15/00 Set the mode cleaner length: L_MC = 12.69 m fsr_MC = 11.82 MHz Set the first PM sideband to resonate in MC and PRC, and be as low as possible: f_1 = 3* fsr_MC = 35.46 MHz Set the PRC length: L_PRC = c/(4*f_1) = 2.115 Set the second PM sideband to resonate in MC and PRC, and be as high as possible: f_2 = 4*f_1 = 141.84 MHz (do we dare go to 5*f_1? it might make some things easier; but would maybe require some demodulating at 6*f_1 = 213 MHz). Set the asymmetry to put f_2 out the dark port: delta = c/(4*f_2) = 0.528 Set the SRC length: Can choose SRC to be the same length as PRC, except that the detuning means that f_2 plus carrier must be resonant there, so we need an offset. choose dt = 0.5 to get the shot noise curve to be minimum at ~ 1500 Hz. L_SRC = L_PRC + c/(4*f_2) * dt = 2.379 SO, this can be realized at the 40m as follows: Optical path length of both arms = 38.25 m Optical path lengths: BS - ITMX (inline): 2.134 m BS - ITMY (perpin): 1.606 m BS - PRM : 0.245 m BS - SRM : 0.509 m L_PRC = 0.245+(2.134+1.606)/2 = 2.115 CHECK! delta = 2.134-1.606 = 0.528 CHECK! L_SRC = 0.509+(2.134+1.606)/2 = 2.379 CHECK! I believe that these will fit in our chambers. Don't forget that physical path lengths are a bit smaller, due to light travelling through the glass. ___ First stab at control signals: Start with LIGO I, add one extra suspended optic (signal mirror), and maybe also a suspended monolithic output mode cleaner (one suspension). This means one more pair of phase-modulated RF sidebands, one more length control signal, one more wavefront sensor, and one more dark-port beam (after the output mode cleaner) for DC-sensing of the GW signal (independent of L- control). Ports: MC reflected (MCRP), MC transmitted (MCTP), symmetric port (SP), asymmetric port 1 (before output mode cleaner) (AP1), asymmetric port 2 (after output mode cleaner) (AP2), power recycling cavity pickoff (off of BS AR side) (PRP), X-arm transmitted (XTP), Y-arm transmitted (YTP). Each port needs a shutter, quad-photodiode monitor, and camera. LSC RF photodiodes on SP, AP1, PRP, MCR, as follows (with CA = carrier, SB1 roughly 35 MHz, SB2 roughly 142 MHz) (TENTATIVE!): PORT RF DOF ---- -- --- AP1, CA-SB2, L- SP, CA-SB1, L+ SP, SB2-SB1, l+ AP1, CA-SB2 and SB1 (double-demod), l- PRP, CA-SB2 and SB1 (double-demod), l_s MCR, at MC control frequency (11.82 MHz?) MCL GW (slow) photodiode on AP2 GW (L-) WFS telescopes and quad RF photodiodes as follows (with CA = carrier, SB1 roughly 35 MHz, SB2 roughly 142 MHz) (TENTATIVE!): AP1, CA-SB1, D(ETM) PRP, SB1-SB2, D(ITM) SP, CA-SB2, C(ETM) PRP, CA-SB2, C(ITM) PRP, CA-SB2 (different RF phase), RM AP1, SB1-SB2, SM MCR, at MC control frequency.
