5
Beam spot viewed in T2-telescope is
larger than normal
T2-telescope infinity focus needs
calibration.
Beam expander is not set correctly
for collimation.
Optics in beam path need
cleaning.
Alcohol pool dirty. Shake pool or
replace alcohol.
Test beam viewed in periscope has flat
side (not circular).
Dropper not aligned properly
with interferometer.
Superspring not leveled or not
aligned properly with
interferometer.
Cannot obtain >200mv amplitude on
analog fringe output with alignment
optimized.
Rotate
λ
/4plate lens in front of
faraday isolator to increase beam
intensity.
Analog fringe output clipped with
alignment optimized.
Intentionally mis-align the input
into the fiber optic. Set fringes at
about 340 mV
Larger than expected single drop
distributions or multi-node histogram
on computer display or simply too
large of a scatter at a quiet site
(100
µ
Gal)
This can be due to the software
incorrectly detecting a peak hop.
Rerunning the data without the
peak detect should solve the
problem in replay. The problem
could be due to the 1f signal is not
hooked up correctly or the time
constant is set to FLAT. The time
constant should be set to 1s.
Data drop-outs
Laser not locked (possibly due to
mechanical vibrations, air flow on
instrument, or optical feedback)
