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…
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…
A Novel Arm-Length Stabilization Scheme for Gravitational-Wave Detectors with AlGaAs/GaAs Coated Mirrors
Jian Liu, Juntao Pan, Carl Blair +7
The arm length stabilisation system is employed in gravitational-wave detectors to reduce the velocity of the mirrors such that the arm cavities can be brought onto resonance in a…
Single and coupled cavity mode sensing schemes using a diagnostic field
Aaron W. Goodwin-Jones, Haochen Zhu, Carl Blair +4
Precise optical mode matching is of critical importance in experiments using squeezed-vacuum states. Automatic spatial-mode matching schemes have the potential to reduce losses and…
Developing and implementing an Einsteinian science curriculum from Years 3 to 10: Part B Teacher upskilling: response to training and teacher's classroom experience
Tejinder Kaur, Magdalena Kersting, Kyla Adams +12
Recent years have seen a growing interest in modernizing physics and science curricula around the world. While many science educators and curriculum developers design instructional…
Developing and implementing an Einsteinian science curriculum from Years 3 to 10 : Part A Concepts, rationale and learning outcomes
Tejinder Kaur, Magdalena Kersting, David Blair +10
There has been a growing realisation that school science curricula do not adequately reflect the revolutionary changes in our scientific understanding of the 20th century. This dis…
