Observation of Parametric Instability in Advanced LIGO
arXiv:1502.06058 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.114.161102
Abstract
Parametric instabilities have long been studied as a potentially limiting effect in high-power interferometric gravitational wave detectors. Until now, however, these instabilities have never been observed in a kilometer-scale interferometer. In this work we describe the first observation of parametric instability in an Advanced LIGO detector, and the means by which it has been removed as a barrier to progress.
