Setting the SRM Transmission (and detune phase)

by Robert Ward last modified 2010-06-07 11:03

Some plots showing various AdVirgo sensitivities, as SRM transmission and detune phase are varied. The readout quadrature (homodyne) is fixed at pi/2.

This plot   shows the NSNS and BHBH range as the SRM Transmission and SRC detuning phase are varied.  The readout quadrature is fixed at pi/2.  The conclusion is that, for NSNS optimization, the choice of SRM transmissivity hardly even matters, as long as the detune phase is around 0.35 radians.   We choose a SRM Transmission of 0.2.




The BHBH range is better optimized by reducing the input power, as shown in this second plot.
