GEMINI: The First Underground Testbed for Seismic Isolation and Interplatform Control in Next-Generation Gravitational-Wave Detectors
Tomislav Andric, Jan Harms, Ilaria Caravella +18
GEMINI is an underground research and development facility dedicated to advancing seismic isolation and control technologies for future gravitational-wave observatories, including…
Multi-scale optimal control for Einstein Telescope active seismic isolation
Pooya Saffarieh, Nathan A. Holland, Michele Valentini +6
We present a multi-scale optimal control framework for active seismic isolation in the Einstein Telescope, a third-generation gravitational-wave observatory. Our approach jointly o…
Integration of high-performance compact interferometric sensors in a suspended interferometer
Alexandra Mitchell, Johannes Lehmann, Philip Koch +6
Homodyne Quadrature Interferometers (HoQIs) are compact, low noise and high dynamic range displacement sensors designed for use in gravitational wave observatories. Their lower noi…
Interferometric sensing of a commercial geophone
S. J. Cooper, C. J. Collins, L. Prokhorov +3
We present a modified commercial L-4C geophone with interferometric readout that demonstrated a resolution 60 times lower than the included coil-magnet readout at low frequencies.…
Towards windproofing LIGO: Reducing the effect of wind-driven floor tilt by using rotation sensors in active seismic isolation
Michael P. Ross, Krishna Venkateswara, Conor Mow-Lowry +9
Modern gravitational-wave observatories require robust low-frequency active seismic isolation in order to keep the interferometer at its ideal operating conditions. Seismometers ar…
A 6D interferometric inertial isolation system
Conor M. Mow-Lowry, Denis Martynov
We present a novel inertial-isolation scheme based on six degree-of-freedom (6D) interferometric sensing of a single reference mass. It is capable of reducing inertial motion by mo…
A compact, large-range interferometer for precision measurement and inertial sensing
S. J. Cooper, A. C. Green, C. Collins +4
We present a compact, fibre-coupled interferometer with high sensitivity and a large working range. We propose to use this interferometer as a readout mechanism for future inertial…
Suspension-thermal noise in spring-antispring systems for future gravitational-wave detectors
Jan Harms, Conor Mow-Lowry
Spring-antispring systems have been investigated as possible low-frequency seismic isolation in high-precision optical experiments. These systems provide the possibility to tune th…
