Optical suppression of tilt-to-length coupling in the LISA long-arm interferometer

M Chwalla, K Danzmann, M Dovale Álvarez +15

The arm length and the isolation in space enable LISA to probe for signals unattainable on ground, opening a window to the sub-Hz gravitational-wave universe. The coupling of unavo…

Reducing tilt-to-length coupling for the LISA test mass interferometer

M Tröbs, S Schuster, M Lieser +13

Objects sensed by laser interferometers are usually not stable in position or orientation. This angular instability can lead to a coupling of angular tilt to apparent longitudinal…

Macroscopic quantum resonators (MAQRO): 2015 Update

Rainer Kaltenbaek, Markus Arndt, Markus Aspelmeyer +49

Do the laws of quantum physics still hold for macroscopic objects - this is at the heart of Schrödinger's cat paradox - or do gravitation or yet unknown effects set a limit for mas…
