Small optic suspensions for Advanced LIGO input optics and other precision optical experiments
arXiv:1606.09159 · doi:10.1063/1.4967716
Abstract
We report on the design and performance of small optic suspensions developed to suppress seismic motion of out-of-cavity optics in the Input Optics subsystem of the Advanced LIGO interferometric gravitational wave detector. These compact single stage suspensions provide isolation in all six degrees of freedom of the optic, local sensing and actuation in three of them, and passive damping for the other three.
