Bidirectional Internal Squeezing for Gravitational-Wave Detectors
Sander M. Vermeulen, Umran Serra Koca, Lee McCuller
We present a bidirectional internal squeezing scheme for gravitational-wave detectors and show that it saturates the lowest known lower bounds on quantum noise from internal optica…
High-Frequency Thermal Noise in Michelson Interferometers
Daniel Grass, Sander M. Vermeulen, Ian A. O. MacMillan +1
Thermal noise in optics constrains the precision of optical experiments, including Michelson interferometers, optical clocks, and optomechanical sensors. While high-power optical e…
Robust Bilinear-Noise-Optimal Control for Gravitational-Wave Detectors: A Mixed LQG/ Approach
Ian A. O. MacMillan, Lee P. McCuller
At its lowest frequencies, LIGO is limited by noise in its many degrees of freedom of suspended optics, which, in turn, introduce noise in the interferometer through their feedback…
