Polymer quantization and advanced gravitational wave detector
arXiv:1907.05863 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.100.086007
Abstract
We investigate the observable consequences of Planck scale effects in the advanced gravitational wave detector by polymer quantizing the optical field in the arms of the interferometer. We construct a new set of polymer-modified creation and annihilation operators to quantize the optical field. Employing these polymer-modified operators, we obtain the fluctuations in the radiation pressure on the end mirrors and the number of output photons. We compare our results with the standard quantization scheme and corrections from the Generalized Uncertainty Principle.
