First demonstration of neural sensing and control in a kilometer-scale gravitational wave observatory
Nikhil Mukund, James Lough, Aparna Bisht +9
Suspended optics in gravitational wave (GW) observatories are susceptible to alignment perturbations, particularly slow drifts over time, due to variations in temperature and seism…
Improving the Robustness of the Advanced LIGO Detectors to Earthquakes
Eyal Schwartz, A Pele, J Warner +196
Teleseismic, or distant, earthquakes regularly disrupt the operation of ground--based gravitational wave detectors such as Advanced LIGO. Here, we present \emph{EQ mode}, a new glo…
First demonstration of 6 dB quantum noise reduction in a kilometer scale gravitational wave observatory
James Lough, Emil Schreiber, Fabio Bergamin +14
Photon shot noise, arising from the quantum-mechanical nature of the light, currently limits the sensitivity of all the gravitational wave observatories at frequencies above one ki…
Control strategy to limit duty cycle impact of earthquakes on the LIGO gravitational-wave detectors
S. Biscans, J. Warner, R. Mittleman +12
Advanced gravitational-wave detectors such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatories (LIGO) require an unprecedented level of isolation from the ground. When in…
