Experimental Setup

Compact single pendulum with eddy current damping.

Result : RSE lock!

•Suspended RSE lock.

•Typically 10min. lock.

•Relative TF (Signal Gain) is measured with end mass swept mechanically.

•Details are written on Osamu's doctor thesis.

Frequency[Hz]

SR/FPMISR/FPMI(cal.)

Interesting! : SR lock with natural detuning

•SR is locked on a side robe of error signal (Polarity is changed).

•Unstable lock produces natural detuning effect.

•It seems to be averaged for higher frequencies.

Next Step

•Stabilization

•Power Recycling

•Detuning

•Sweeping??

We built a new RSE experiment in Feb. 2002!!
