A room temperature optomechanical squeezer
Nancy Aggarwal
One of the noise sources that currently limits gravitational wave (GW) detectors comes from the quantum nature of the light causing uncertain amplitude and phase. Phase uncertainty…

Characterization of a metastable neon beam extracted from a commercial RF ion source
B. Ohayon, E. Wåhlin, G. Ron
We have used a commercial RF ion-source to extract a beam of metastable neon atoms. The source was easily incorporated into our existing system and was operative within a day of in…

Mapping the Optical Absorption of a Substrate-Transferred Crystalline AlGaAs Coating at 1.5um
Jessica Steinlechner, Iain W Martin, Angus Bell +5
The sensitivity of 2nd and 3rd generations of interferometric gravitational wave detectors will be limited by thermal noise of the test-mass mirrors and highly reflective coatings.…
