Radiation Tolerance of Low-Noise Photoreceivers for the LISA Space Mission

P. Colcombet, N. Dinu-Jaeger, C. Inguimbert +16

This study investigates the effects of space environmental radiation on the performance of InGaAs Quadrant Photodiodes (QPDs) and assesses their suitability for the Laser Interfero…

Point Absorber Limits to Future Gravitational-Wave Detectors

W. Jia, H. Yamamoto, K. Kuns +198

High-quality optical resonant cavities require low optical loss, typically on the scale of parts per million. However, unintended micron-scale contaminants on the resonator mirrors…

IWAVE -- An Adaptive Filter Approach to Phase Lock and the Dynamic Characterisation of Pseudo-Harmonic Waves

Edward J. Daw, Ian J. Hollows, Elliot L. Jones +5

We present a novel adaptive filtering approach to the dynamic characterisation of waves of varying frequency and amplitude embedded in arbitrary noise backgrounds. This method, kno…

Characterization of systematic error in Advanced LIGO calibration in the second half of O3

Ling Sun, Evan Goetz, Jeffrey S. Kissel +19

We present the probability distribution of the systematic errors in the most accurate, high-latency version of the reconstructed dimensionless strain , at the Hanford and Living…

LIGOs Quantum Response to Squeezed States

L. McCuller, S. E. Dwyer, A. C. Green +194

Gravitational Wave interferometers achieve their profound sensitivity by combining a Michelson interferometer with optical cavities, suspended masses, and now, squeezed quantum sta…

Approaching the motional ground state of a 10 kg object

Chris Whittle, Evan D. Hall, Sheila Dwyer +197

The motion of a mechanical object -- even a human-sized object -- should be governed by the rules of quantum mechanics. Coaxing them into a quantum state is, however, difficult: th…
