A matter of perspective: how nanoscale optical defects limit cosmic-scale gravitational wave observations

Anna C. Green, Antonella Bianchi, Daniel D. Brown +10

Ground-based gravitational-wave (GW) detectors, such as LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA, have revolutionised as- tronomy. Now, future detectors like the Einstein Telescope and Cosmic Explor…

Misalignment and mode mismatch error signals for higher-order Hermite-Gauss modes from two sensing schemes

Liu Tao, Anna C. Green, Paul Fulda

The locking of lasers to optical cavities is ubiquitously required in the field of precision interferometry such as Advanced LIGO to yield optimal sensitivity. Using higher-order H…

Power coupling losses for misaligned and mode-mismatched higher-order Hermite-Gauss modes

Liu Tao, Jessica Kelley-Derzon, Anna C. Green +1

This paper analytically and numerically investigates misalignment and mode-mismatch induced power coupling coefficients and losses as a function of Hermite Gauss (HG) mode order. W…
