Error signals for overcoming the laser power limits of gravitational-wave detectors
Liu Tao, Pooyan Goodarzi, Jonathan W. Richardson
A major barrier to improving the quantum-limited sensitivity of gravitational-wave observatories is the thermal distortions of the test masses which arise at megawatt laser power.…

Demonstration of a next-generation wavefront actuator for gravitational-wave detection
Tyler Rosauer, Huy Tuong Cao, Mohak Bhattacharya +11
In the last decade, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) and the European Virgo observatory have opened a new observational window on the universe. These…
