First Demonstration of Optical Feedback Control to Parametric Instability at Advanced LIGO
Juntao Pan, Carl Blair, Vladimir Bossilkov +5
Increasing the circulating power in gravitational-wave detectors to the megawatt level is essential for future sensitivity improvement, but this is critically limited by optomechan…
Open Data from LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA through the Second Part of the Fourth Observing Run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration +1809
LIGO, Virgo, KAGRA, and GEO 600 form a network of gravitational-wave observatories. Data and analysis results from this network are made publicly available through the Gravitationa…
Birefringence in a Silicon Beamsplitter at 2um for Future Gravitational Wave Detectors
Alex Adam, Carl Blair, Chunnong Zhao
The next generation of gravitational wave detectors will move to cryogenic operation in order to reduce thermal noise and thermal distortion. This necessitates a change in mirror s…
Seismic Isolation of Optical Tables Using Piezo Actuators
Tailong Wang, Carl Blair, Ammar Al-Jodah +6
Seismic isolation is crucial for gravitational wave detectors as it minimizes ground vibrations, enabling the detection of faint gravitational wave signals. An active seismic isola…
