Optomechanical cooling and inertial sensing at low frequencies
Yanqi Zhang, Adam Hines, Dalziel Wilson +1
An inertial sensor design is proposed in this paper to achieve high sensitivity and large dynamic range in the sub-Hz frequency regime. High acceleration sensitivity is obtained by…
A characterization method for low-frequency environmental noise in LIGO
Guillermo Valdes, Adam Hines, Andrea Nelson +2
We present a method to characterize the noise in ground-based gravitational-wave observatories such as the Laser Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). This method uses linear regr…
Investigation and mitigation of noise contributions in a compact heterodyne interferometer
Yanqi Zhang, Adam Hines, Guillermo Valdes +1
We present a noise estimation and subtraction algorithm capable of increasing the sensitivity of heterodyne laser interferometers by one order of magnitude. The heterodyne interfer…
Optomechanical accelerometers for geodesy
Adam Hines, Andrea Nelson, Yanqi Zhang +4
We present a novel optomechanical inertial sensor for low frequency applications and corresponding acceleration measurements. This sensor has a resonant frequency of 4.7Hz, a mecha…
Optomechanical lasers for inertial sensing
Hayden Wisniewski, Logan Richardson, Adam Hines +2
We have developed an inertially sensitive optomechanical laser by combining a Vertical-External-Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser with a monolithic fused silica resonator. By placing t…
Quantum hybrid optomechanical inertial sensing
Logan Richardson, Adam Hines, Andrew Schaffer +2
We discuss the design of quantum hybrid inertial sensor that combines an optomechanical inertial sensor with the retro-reflector of a cold atom interferometer. This sensor fusion a…
Optomechanical Inertial Sensors
Adam Hines, Logan Richardson, Hayden Wisniewski +1
We present a performance analysis of compact monolithic optomechanical inertial sensors that describes their key fundamental limits and overall acceleration noise floor. Performanc…
