Status of the GEO 600 squeezed-light laser
Alexander Khalaidovski, Henning Vahlbruch, Nico Lastzka +5
In the course of the high-frequency upgrade of GEO 600, its optical configuration was extended by a squeezed-light laser [1]. Recently, a non-classically enhanced measurement sensi…
Search for Gravitational Waves from Low Mass Compact Binary Coalescence in LIGO's Sixth Science Run and Virgo's Science Runs 2 and 3
the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +796
We report on a search for gravitational waves from coalescing compact binaries using LIGO and Virgo observations between July 7, 2009 and October 20, 2010. We searched for signals…
All-sky Search for Periodic Gravitational Waves in the Full S5 LIGO Data
J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +794
We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency band 50-800 Hz and with the frequency time derivative in the range of 0 through -6e-9 Hz/s. Such a…
Long-term stable squeezed vacuum state of light for gravitational wave detectors
Alexander Khalaidovski, Henning Vahlbruch, Nico Lastzka +4
Currently, the German/British gravitational wave detector GEO600 is being upgraded in course of the GEO-HF program. One part of this upgrade consists of the integration of a squeez…
Directional limits on persistent gravitational waves using LIGO S5 science data
J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +712
The gravitational-wave (GW) sky may include nearby pointlike sources as well as astrophysical and cosmological stochastic backgrounds. Since the relative strength and angular distr…
High-efficiency frequency doubling of continuous-wave laser light
Stefan Ast, Ramon Moghadas Nia, Axel Schönbeck +6
We report on the observation of high efficiency frequency doubling of 1550 nm continuous-wave laser light in a nonlinear cavity containing a periodically poled potassium titanyl ph…
