Characterization and evasion of backscattered light in the squeezed-light enhanced gravitational wave interferometer GEO 600
Fabio Bergamin, James Lough, Emil Schreiber +15
Squeezed light is injected into the dark port of gravitational wave interferometers, in order to reduce the quantum noise. A fraction of the interferometer output light can reach t…
Point Absorber Limits to Future Gravitational-Wave Detectors
W. Jia, H. Yamamoto, K. Kuns +198
High-quality optical resonant cavities require low optical loss, typically on the scale of parts per million. However, unintended micron-scale contaminants on the resonator mirrors…
Experimental investigation of the limitations of polarisation optics for future gravitational wave detectors based on the polarisation Sagnac speedmeter
A. P Spencer, B. W Barr, A. S. Bell +6
The polarisation Sagnac speedmeter interferometer has the potential to replace the Michelson interferometer as the instrumental basis for future generations of ground-based gravita…
LIGOs Quantum Response to Squeezed States
L. McCuller, S. E. Dwyer, A. C. Green +194
Gravitational Wave interferometers achieve their profound sensitivity by combining a Michelson interferometer with optical cavities, suspended masses, and now, squeezed quantum sta…
Direct limits for scalar field dark matter from a gravitational-wave detector
Sander M. Vermeulen, Philip Relton, Hartmut Grote +20
The nature of dark matter remains unknown to date; several candidate particles are being considered in a dynamically changing research landscape. Scalar field dark matter is a prom…
Approaching the motional ground state of a 10 kg object
Chris Whittle, Evan D. Hall, Sheila Dwyer +197
The motion of a mechanical object -- even a human-sized object -- should be governed by the rules of quantum mechanics. Coaxing them into a quantum state is, however, difficult: th…
