Sideband power detected by the B4 photodiode (intra-cavity power) Upper and lower sidebands resonate at slightly different positions: it may give error signals asymmetric with respect to zero. 8 “Real” CITF ~ 1,6 nm ~ 3 nm ~0,15 nm l PRC = 11,9525 m Schnupp = 0,23096 m Is it correct? Is it a lot? Is it negligible? 1,8 kHz for the 6 MHz 15 kHz for the 56 MHz 35 kHz for the 131 MHz

Conclusions The 131 MHz is crucial for the lock acquisition More investigations are needed to understand how the change of the PR RoC can influence the error signal shape 35
