Single-Element Dual-Interferometer for Precision Inertial Sensing: Sub-picometer Structural Stability and Performance as a Reference for Laser Frequency Stabilization

Victor Huarcaya, Miguel Dovale Álvarez, Kohei Yamamoto +7

To reach sub-picometer sensitivity in the millihertz range, displacement sensors based on laser interferometry require suppression of laser-frequency noise by several orders of mag…

fractional laser frequency stability with a 7-cm unequal-arm Mach-Zehnder interferometer

Victor Huarcaya, Miguel Dovale Álvarez, Daniel Penkert +7

To achieve sub-picometer sensitivities in the millihertz band, laser interferometric inertial sensors rely on some form of reduction of the laser frequency noise, typically by lock…

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…

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…
