  1. Thermal noise resulting from ring dampers used for suppression of parametric instabilities Antonella Iuorio University of Sannio, Benevento, Italy LIGO Seminar September 12, 2006 Eric D. Black Grad students: Akira Villar, Greg Ogin Surf student: Matt Seaberg, Cacey Stevens, Michael Goldman

  2. Acousto-Optic Coupling

  3. Overlap factor Stokes mode contribution Anti-Stokes mode contribution Instability Condition Ju, et al. G050325-00 who got it from Braginsky, et al. Phys. Lett. A 305, 111 (2002)

  4. Suppress parametric instabilities How do we eliminate parametric oscillations in AdLIGO without spoiling our low thermal noise floor? Active feedback Thermal detuning Ring dampers Possible solutions

  5. Ring Damper IDEA:To suppress the mechanical Q’s of many modes, without sensibly affecting thermal noise floor

  6. Previous results • Rubber O-Rings • Q’s decreased • Broadband noise increased • Kapton tape O-Rings • Q’s unchanged • Broadband noise unchanged

  7. Effect of dampers on Q’s

  8. Rubber O-Rings

  9. Kapton tape O-ring No ring damper Rubber O-Ring Kapton tape

  10. This summer’s results • Copper rings with screw • Q’s decreased • Broadband noise changed

  11. What can we do? Monolithic rings Problem: Need to eliminate screw. IDEA: Heat rings and cool in place

  12. Notch Filter Flavio Nocera

  13. Thermal Noise Interferometer

  14. Servo Block Diagram Notch Filter

  15. TNI Total Noise

  16. Inductive heater for installing monolithic rings • Induction coil induces an EMF in the ring damper • Joule heating causes the ring to expand, so it will fit over the mirror • Upon cooling, the ring shrinks to fit the barrel of the optic

  17. Schmitt trigger • Comparator circuit with positive feedback • The effect of the positive feedback is to make the circuit have two thresholds, depending on the output state • Greater stability

  18. Summary • Parametric instabilities • Ring dampers • previous results • summer 2006 results • My contribution • Notch Filter • Schmitt trigger

  19. Thanks
