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…

Demonstration of Parametric Instability suppression through optical feedback

Vladimir Bossilkov, Jian Liu, Carl Blair +2

We demonstrate the suppression of parametric instability using through optical actuation in an electro-optical feedback loop, stabilising the high order optical mode content in an…

Gravitational wave detectors with broadband high frequency sensitivity

Michael A. Page, Maxim Goryachev, Haixing Miao +10

The binary neutron star coalescence GW170817 was observed by gravitational wave detectors during the inspiral phase but sensitivity in the 1-5 kHz band was insufficient to observe…

Towards thermal noise free optomechanics

Michael Page, Yiqiu Ma, Chunnong Zhao +6

Thermal noise generally greatly exceeds quantum noise in optomechanical devices unless the mechanical frequency is very high or the thermodynamic temperature is very low. This pape…

Linear negative dispersion with a gain doublet via optomechanical interactions

Jiayi Qin, Chunnong Zhao, Yiqiu Ma +2

Optical cavities containing a negative dispersion medium have been proposed as a means of improving the sensitivity of laser interferometric gravitational wave (GW) detectors throu…
