LSC Model Not Playing Nice with Mixed H2/Hinf solver

I tried the LSC model (tried attaching but does not accept .mat files) with the H2 solver And it worked like normally. You can see these results in the "LSC_H2_Results.pdf" attachment.

When trying the LSC model with the H2/Hinf Mixed solver it struggled to recover even the H2 results. This is with a gamma going from 1e3 down to 1e-1 (not igsq). On the H2 result it looks like the Closed loop is peaking at about 100 so this should be plenty to at least recover the H2 results. but I am left with the results seen in "LSC_H2HinfMix_Results.pdf"

It is possible that this is a problem with the Zinf connection but I will have to investigate further. I also still need to try the damping loop. Also I got multiple color bars working using This.

Paper Plots for H2/Hinf Optimal Controls Paper
Here I make a list of all of the plots that I want to include in the final $H_2$/$H_{inf}$ Optimal Controls paper. The paper should look at 3 models: - The damping loop - The LSC - The ASC For each of these models should have a few plots: 1) Open Loop Plot: This plot should show the open loop transfer function of the full system. It should show the current loop as well as a number of different loops for varying FOM weight and varying $H_{inf}$ upper limit {gamma} 2) An RMS Plot: This will show the $H_2$ norm (RMS output) from the white noise inputs to the FOM outputs. This plot will be a scatter plot with one FOM being the BNS FOM and one being the flat FOM 3) Closed Loop Plot: Although this may not make it into the paper I need to make a closed loop plot that shows the closed loop transfer function for the current controller and the controllers calculated for decreasing $H_{inf}$ upper limit {gamma}. This plot will show the mixed controller is limiting the peak of the closed loop magnitude. 4) A Noise Plot: this plot will characterize the plant model for the given models above it will include the magnitude of the noise blocks. In addition to all those plots I will want to create some general plots that are one off: 1) I will want to create a FOM plot which shows the Flat FOM the BNS FOM and the simplified BNS FOM that is used. Only Magnitude will be necessary

I am running into a problem choosing the color scheme for the plots for the paper. There are two main challenges to this first is that in the mixed H2/Hinf case the color conveys two pieces of info: the FOM weighting and the gamma limit on the Hinf norm. I have attached a number of single color schemes in the "PaperALS_OL_BODE_colors_comp.pdf" attachment. I don't know how to handle the gamma limit. Ideally there would be a 2d color space to map like in the pycolormap-2d package. Is it worth it?

The other main plot is the RMS plot which also has two color schemes one for the gain margin and one for the FOM weighting. This is easier as long as the colors don't overlap. Also I haven't gotten the dual color bar to work on the RMS Plot. the scaling always is removed by adding the second color bar. See the example RMS plot in "PaperALS_FOM_RMS_Scatter.pdf"

Note: some of the colorbars are messed up in "PaperALS_OL_BODE_colors_comp.pdf"

Frequency noise measurement

Remeasured the frequency noise with the 785 after the visibility improvement. Assuming my calibration to Hz/sqrt(hz) is correct, the measurement is still yielding several orders of magnitude larger than what rio claims it to be. Investigating this today.

 

For reference, the SR785 measures a quantity is V/sqrt(Hz). To convert to frequency noise I do S / (L/c * B*2*pi) where S is the measurement, L is the path length difference between the two arms and B is the fringe amplitude. V/sqrt(Hz) / (m/(m/s) * V) = Hz/sqrt(Hz).

The right axis (Hz) on this plot has a different frequency dependence than the left axis (Rad). So be careful with the specification data. I agree otherwise that there seems to be an excess. It might be intensity noise that needs to be canceled.

Laser Frequency Characterization with Mokus

Lee came into the lab today and discovered that the TEC controller's range on the integrator is very small, which is why I was having trouble driving the laser frequency. If you center on this range (~10.2 kOhm) you can then drive a signal into the back of the TEC so that there are constant fringes on the Mach-Zehnder read out. I did this via the moku (15 mV @ .1 Hz, corresponds to roughly 1 fringe). "2.png" is this first attempt, red is the readout PD, blue is the driving signal. "3.png" is then hooking up a PD farther upstream to use as a power reference instead of the driving signal (see also cryolab_frequency_noise_measurement_pdf.pdf, the lighter color laser path in that is used). "4.png" is then using the moku's math channels to do (readout PD)/(power reference) to give the fringes at a constant offset. At this point its very easy to align to maximize these fringes. "7.png" shows the improved visibility. "5.png" shows the moku set up used. There are some shenanigans with the input ranges when using an oscilloscope in multi-instrument mode where you either have it on 400mV setting and its saturated, or its on 4V setting and it auto attenuates the signal by 20dB. So the digital filter box is undoing that 20dB attenuation. For unequal powers, I believe the formula is V =(2*sqrt(34*99)/(99+34))=87%, so not perfect but a vast improvement.

Also, how do you link to images on this. I know you can on the LLO logbook. So I don't have to keep writing "*.png".

I drag and drop the link at the bottom of the post during editing and it should put it inline in the text. - looks like you have to be in the ckeditor for that to work well.

Hello World!
According to all known laws of aviation, there is no way a bee should be able to fly. Its wings are too small to get its fat little body off the ground. The bee, of course, flies anyway because bees don't care what humans think is impossible. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Yellow, black. Ooh, black and yellow! Let's shake it up a little. Barry! Breakfast is ready! Coming! Hang on a second. Hello? Barry? Adam? Can you believe this is happening? I can't. I'll pick you up. Looking sharp. Use the stairs, Your father paid good money for those. Sorry. I'm excited. Here's the graduate. We're very proud of you, son. A perfect report card, all B's. Very proud. Ma! I got a thing going here. You got lint on your fuzz. Ow! That's me! Wave to us! We'll be in row 118,000. Bye! Barry, I told you, stop flying in the house! Hey, Adam. Hey, Barry. Is that fuzz gel? A little. Special day, graduation. Never thought I'd make it. Three days grade school, three days high school. Those were awkward. Three days college. I'm glad I took a day and hitchhiked around The Hive. You did come back different. Hi, Barry. Artie, growing a mustache? Looks good. Hear about Frankie? Yeah. link [test](google.com)
