Seismic Isolation of Optical Tables Using Piezo Actuators
Tailong Wang, Carl Blair, Ammar Al-Jodah +6
Seismic isolation is crucial for gravitational wave detectors as it minimizes ground vibrations, enabling the detection of faint gravitational wave signals. An active seismic isola…
Birefringence in a Silicon Beamsplitter at 2um for Future Gravitational Wave Detectors
Alex Adam, Carl Blair, Chunnong Zhao
The next generation of gravitational wave detectors will move to cryogenic operation in order to reduce thermal noise and thermal distortion. This necessitates a change in mirror s…
Demonstration of optical spring in an un-detuned cavity containing an optical parametric amplifier
Jian Liu, Juntao Pan, Carl Blair +4
Here we demonstrate the capacity to manipulate the optical spring (OS) effect by employing an optical parametric amplifier (OPA) within an optical cavity. We observed more than a f…
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…
Design of a tabletop interferometer with quantum amplification
Jiri Smetana, Artemiy Dmitriev, Chunnong Zhao +2
The sensitivity of laser interferometers is fundamentally limited by the quantum nature of light. Recent theoretical studies have opened a new avenue to enhance their quantum-limit…
Seismic noise characterization at a potential gravitational wave detector site in Australia
Hamid Satari, Carl Blair, Li Ju +5
A critical consideration in the design of next generation gravitational wave detectors is the understanding of the seismic environment that can introduce coherent and incoherent no…
