Signal photon flux generated by high-frequency relic gravitational waves

Abstract

The power spectrum of primordial tensor perturbations ${\mathcal{P}}_t$ increases rapidly in high frequency region if the spectral index $n_t>0$. It is shown that the amplitude of relic gravitational wave $h_t$($5\times 10^9$Hz) varies from $10^{-36}$ to $10^{-25}$ while $n_t$ varies from $-6.25\times 10^{-3}$ to $0.87$. High frequency gravitational waves detector that is proposed by F.-Y. Li detects gravitational waves through observing the perturbed photon flux that is generated by interaction between the relic gravitational waves and electromagnetic system. It is shown that the perturbative photon flux $N_x^1$($5\times 10^9$Hz) varies from $1.40\times 10^{-4}{\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$ to $2.85\times 10^7{\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$ while $n_t$ varies from $-6.25\times 10^{-3}$ to $0.87$. Correspondingly, the ratio of the transverse perturbative photon flux $N_x^1$ to the background photon flux varies from $10^{-28}$ to $10^{-16}$.
