Overview of Advanced LIGO Adaptive Optics
Aidan F. Brooks, Benjamin Abbott, Muzammil A. Arain +23
This is an overview of the adaptive optics used in Advanced LIGO (aLIGO), known as the thermal compensation system (TCS). The thermal compensation system was designed to minimize t…
Small optic suspensions for Advanced LIGO input optics and other precision optical experiments
G. Ciani, M. A. Arain, S. M. Aston +13
We report on the design and performance of small optic suspensions developed to suppress seismic motion of out-of-cavity optics in the Input Optics subsystem of the Advanced LIGO i…
The Advanced LIGO Input Optics
Chris Mueller, Muzammil Arain, Giacomo Ciani +18
The Advanced LIGO gravitational wave detectors are nearing their design sensitivity and should begin taking meaningful astrophysical data in the fall of 2015. These resonant optica…
