Detection of high-frequency gravitational waves using high-energy pulsed lasers
arXiv:2301.08163 · doi:10.1088/1361-6382/acd517
Abstract
We propose a new method for detecting high-frequency gravitational waves (GWs) using high-energy pulsed lasers. Through the inverse Gertsenshtein effect, the interaction between a GW and the laser beam results in the creation of an electromagnetic signal. The latter can be detected using single-photon counting techniques. We compute the minimal strain of a detectable GW which only depends on the laser parameters. We find that a resonance occurs in this process when the frequency of the GW is twice the frequency of the laser. With this method, the frequency range Hz is explored non-continuously for strains for current laser systems and can be extended to with future generation facilities.
