A back-linked Fabry-Perot interferometer for space-borne gravitational wave observations

Kiwamu Izumi, Masa-Katsu Fujimoto

Direct observations of gravitational waves at frequencies below 10 Hz will play crucial roles for fully exploiting the potential of gravitational wave astronomy. One approach to pu…

Application of the independent component analysis to the iKAGRA data

KAGRA Collaboration, T. Akutsu, M. Ando +244

We apply the independent component analysis (ICA) to the real data from a gravitational wave detector for the first time. Specifically we use the iKAGRA data taken in April 2016, a…

Double balanced homodyne detection

Kouji Nakamura, Masa-Katsu Fujimoto

In the context of the readout scheme for gravitational-wave detectors, the "double balanced homodyne detection" proposed in [K.~Nakamura and M.-K.~Fujimoto, arXiv:1709.01697.] is d…
