Models of the Advanced LIGO Suspensions in MATLAB

Document #:

LIGO-T080188-v2

Document type:

T - Technical notes

Abstract:

This document describes the history and usage of the various suspension models written in MATLAB, beginning with Calum Torrie's thesis work on the GEO triple, down to the current suite of quad and triple models maintained by Mark Barton.

Notes and Changes:
