First Demonstration of Electrostatic Damping of Parametric Instability at Advanced LIGO
Carl Blair, Slawek Gras, Richard Abbott +16
Interferometric gravitational wave detectors operate with high optical power in their arms in order to achieve high shot-noise limited strain sensitivity. A significant limitation…
The next detectors for gravitational wave astronomy
David Blair, Li Ju, Chunnong Zhao +15
This paper focuses on the next detectors for gravitational wave astronomy which will be required after the current ground based detectors have completed their initial observations,…
Gravitational wave astronomy: the current status
David Blair, Li Ju, Chunnong Zhao +36
In the centenary year of Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, this paper reviews the current status of gravitational wave astronomy across a spectrum which stretches from attoh…
High quality factor mg-scale silicon mechanical resonators for 3-mode optoacoustic parametric amplifiers
Francis Achilles Torres, Phillip Meng, Li Ju +8
Milligram-scale resonators have been shown to be suitable for the creation of 3-mode optoacoustic parametric amplifiers, based on a phenomena first predicted for advanced gravitati…
Direct string magnetic gradiometer for space applications
Andrew Sunderland, Alexey V. Veryaskin, Wayne McRae +2
Recently, a novel Direct String Magnetic Gradiometer (DSMG) has been developed, where a vibrating wire, driven by an AC current, is used as a single sensitive element. It is design…
