A Polarization-Decomposed Method for Simulating Inhomogeneous Birefringence in Laser-Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Detectors
Haoyu Wang, Yuta Michimura, Keiko Kokeyama +9
Birefringence in test mass substrates is an emerging limitation for current and future laser-interferometric gravitational-wave detectors, particularly as detectors move toward hig…
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…
You only thermoelastically deform once: Point Absorber Detection in LIGO Test Masses with YOLO
Simon R. Goode, Mitchell Schiworski, Daniel Brown +2
Current and future gravitational-wave observatories rely on large-scale, precision interferometers to detect the gravitational-wave signals. However, microscopic imperfections on t…
Continuous gravitational waves in the lab: recovering audio signals with a table-top optical microphone
James W. Gardner, Hannah Middleton, Changrong Liu +8
Gravitational-wave observatories around the world are searching for continuous waves: persistent signals from sources such as spinning neutron stars. These searches use sophisticat…
GW170817: Measurements of Neutron Star Radii and Equation of State
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1149
On 17 August 2017, the LIGO and Virgo observatories made the first direct detection of gravitational waves from the coalescence of a neutron star binary system. The detection of th…
Review of the Laguerre-Gauss mode technology research program at Birmingham
Paul Fulda, Charlotte Bond, Daniel Brown +7
Gravitational wave detectors from the advanced generation onwards are expected to be limited in sensitivity by thermal noise of the optics, making the reduction of this noise a key…
