Re-lock of the ITF End of May
Lock still not stable
Oscillations around 30-50 Hz
Present “everywhere”
Not clearly connected with any longitudinal loop oscillation
Quite often they caused the unlock of the ITF

Locks long enough to see thermal effects
Sideband powersee Julien’s talk
![Page 9: 1 Virgo Commissioning Status WG1 meeting Potsdam, 21 st July 2006.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070414/5697c0151a28abf838cce1cb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

dramatic change of the locking parameters in the firts minutes of lock acquisition
quite challenging to keep the ITF locked
Locks long enough to see thermal effects

locking parameters very sensitive to alignment fluctuations (Locking/Alignment shifts)
small window in which the locking parameters make the ITF more stable
Coupling with alignment fluctuations
![Page 12: 1 Virgo Commissioning Status WG1 meeting Potsdam, 21 st July 2006.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070414/5697c0151a28abf838cce1cb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Useful tools
Scanning Fabry-Perot on the dark fringe beam
Sidebands always unbalanced, instabilities clearly correlated with one sideband vanishing

further improvement of the locking stability
ITF conditions more repeatable * new alignment procedure tested and implemented
relaxed constraints on the locking parameters
… it was possible to close the automatic alignment:

Conclusions
It seems that we can survive to the thermal effects, but studies are in progress
Short term plans: complete automatic alignment, increase locking robustness (difficult to recover a stable lock after changes in the system, see last week)
Noise hunting just started

Scan of the B2_3f demdoulation phase(automatic alignment closed, thermal drift over)
![Page 28: 1 Virgo Commissioning Status WG1 meeting Potsdam, 21 st July 2006.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022070414/5697c0151a28abf838cce1cb/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Laser frequency noise ?
Dark fringe signal coherent with B5_ACp between 240 Hz and 6 kHz
B5_ACp = error signal of the laser frequency stabilization loop (SSFS)
Also coherent with the angular error signals of IMC automatic alignment
B5_ACp superimposed on Dark Fringe Signal using the 444 and 1111 Hz lines
See logbook entry 12603 by M. Evans
Sensitivity
B5_ACp
Conclusion : B1_ACp and B5_ACp see the same noise (presumably laser frequency noise)
