Energetic Quantum Limit in Large-Scale Interferometers

arXiv:gr-qc/9907057 · doi:10.1063/1.1291855

Abstract

For each optical topology of an interferometric gravitational wave detector, quantum mechanics dictates a minimum optical power (the ``energetic quantum limit'') to achieve a given sensitivity. For standard topologies, when one seeks to beat the standard quantum limit by a substantial factor, the energetic quantum limit becomes impossibly large. Intracavity readout schemes may do so with manageable optical powers.
