Pre-Isolator

1. Vibration Isolation at a low frequency (< 0.1 Hz)

* Attenuate the mirror oscillation at the micro-seismic peak (0.2~0.3 Hz)

2. Control the position and orientation of the system

Radially arranged cantilever springs

The horizontal force works as an anti-spring and reduces the resonant frequency of the filter

In principle the frequency can be reduced to zero.

Actuator Input Signal

LVDT Output

When the actuator is driven by a high frequency signal (> 2 Hz), the LVDT shows a non-linear response.

The same phenomenon is observed even when the magnet for the actuator is eliminated.

Performance measurement on the GAS filter, LVDT and actuator of the pre-isolator prototype

The top filter can be tuned at ~ 0.2 Hz, and maybe even lower. The linear signal is observed in LVDT over a range of ~1 cm. Non-linear couplings between the actuator and LVDT.

Tuning the top filter at lower than 0.1 Hz, and the Q-factor, hysteresis, stability are checked.

Investigating the cause of the actuator-LVDT couplings Control test with the inverted pendulums
