Demonstration of length control for a filter cavity with coherent control sidebands
Naoki Aritomi, Yuhang Zhao, Eleonora Capocasa +22
For broadband quantum noise reduction of gravitational-wave detectors, a frequency-dependent squeezed vacuum field realized using a filter cavity is the most promising technique an…
Demonstrating the velocity response of a table-top EPR Speedmeter
S. L. Kranzhoff, S. L. Danilishin, S. Steinlechner +3
The sensitivity of gravitational-wave interferometers is fundamentally limited by quantum noise, as dictated by the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, due to their continuous positi…
All-polarisation beamsplitters for interferometer applications
S. L. Kranzhoff, Z. Van Ranst, J. De Bolle +9
Optical beamsplitters with similar properties for orthogonal, linear polarisation modes are required for realising polarisation-based speedmeter schemes to reduce back-action noise…
The Science of the Einstein Telescope
Adrian Abac, Raul Abramo, Simone Albanesi +485
Einstein Telescope (ET) is the European project for a gravitational-wave (GW) observatory of third-generation. In this paper we present a comprehensive discussion of its science ob…
Optical losses as a function of beam position on the mirrors in a 285-m suspended Fabry-Perot cavity
Y. Zhao, M. Vardaro, E. Capocasa +4
Reducing optical losses is crucial for reducing quantum noise in gravitational-wave detectors. Losses are the main source of degradation of the squeezed vacuum. Frequency dependent…

F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +491
The Advanced Virgo detector has contributed with its data to the rapid growth of the number of detected gravitational-wave signals in the past few years, alongside the two LIGO ins…
Improving the stability of frequency dependent squeezing with bichromatic control of filter cavity length, alignment and incident beam pointing
Yuhang Zhao, Eleonora Capocasa, Marc Eisenmann +21
Frequency dependent squeezing is the main upgrade for achieving broadband quantum noise reduction in upcoming observation runs of gravitational wave detectors. The proper frequency…
The Virgo O3 run and the impact of the environment
F. Acernese, M. Agathos, A. Ain +486
Sources of geophysical noise (such as wind, sea waves and earthquakes) or of anthropogenic noise impact ground-based gravitational-wave interferometric detectors, causing transient…
Frequency-Dependent Squeezed Vacuum Source for Broadband Quantum Noise Reduction in Advanced Gravitational-Wave Detectors
Yuhang Zhao, Naoki Aritomi, Eleonora Capocasa +20
The astrophysical reach of current and future ground-based gravitational-wave detectors is mostly limited by quantum noise, induced by vacuum fluctuations entering the detector out…
Finite state machine controls for a source of optical squeezed vacuum
