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…
