Low-loss amorphous dielectric metasurface mirror for precision optical cavities
Swadha Pandey, Peter Fritschel, Matthew Evans
We report the design and experimental realization of a low-loss dielectric metasurface mirror operating at 1064 nm, the primary wavelength of interferometric gravitational-wave det…
Observing and evading quantum back-action on a kilogram-scale oscillator
Begüm Kabagöz, Eric Oelker, Dhruva Ganapathy +203
Continuous quantum displacement measurements are fundamentally limited by a trade-off between readout imprecision and measurement back-action, constrained by the Heisenberg uncerta…
Loss-tolerant hybrid metasurface mirror for reducing coating Brownian noise in precision optical cavities
Swadha Pandey, Evan D. Hall, Peter Fritschel +1
We propose a hybrid mirror design that places an embedded metasurface beneath a Bragg reflector, combining the low coating Brownian noise of metasurface mirrors with the low optica…
LIGO Detector Characterization in the Second and Third Parts of the Fourth Observing Run
J. Glanzer, A. F. Helmling-Cornell, A. Calafat +244
LIGO detector characterization efforts enabled the confident detection of gravitational waves from hundreds of compact binary coalescences during the fourth observing run. Reliable…
LIGO A: Detector Design and Science Prospects Beyond A+
L. Sun, K. Kuns, B. J. J. Slagmolen +1153
We present the LIGO A detector concept, an upgrade for the LIGO observatories based on room-temperature interferometers beyond the fifth observing run (O5). Building on th…
Coating-free monolithic fused silica resonator via total internal reflection for precision laser stabilization
Swadha Pandey, Rodica Martin, Peter Fritschel +2
Brownian noise in the thin-film mirror coatings of optical reference cavities is a fundamental limitation in precision metrology, including gravitational-wave detectors and optical…
