Piezo-deformable Mirrors for Active Mode Matching in Advanced LIGO
Varun Srivastava, Georgia Mansell, Camille Makarem +16
The detectors of the laser interferometer gravitational-wave observatory (LIGO) are broadly limited by the quantum noise and rely on the injection of squeezed states of light to ac…
Point Absorber Limits to Future Gravitational-Wave Detectors
W. Jia, H. Yamamoto, K. Kuns +198
High-quality optical resonant cavities require low optical loss, typically on the scale of parts per million. However, unintended micron-scale contaminants on the resonator mirrors…
Modeling circulating cavity fields using the discrete linear canonical transform
Alexei A. Ciobanu, Daniel David Brown, Peter J. Veitch +1
Fabry-Perot cavities are central to many optical measurement systems. In high precision experiments, such as aLIGO and AdV, coupled cavities are often required leading to complex o…
LIGOs Quantum Response to Squeezed States
L. McCuller, S. E. Dwyer, A. C. Green +194
Gravitational Wave interferometers achieve their profound sensitivity by combining a Michelson interferometer with optical cavities, suspended masses, and now, squeezed quantum sta…
Differential wavefront sensing and control using radio-frequency optical demodulation
Daniel D. Brown, Huy Tuong Cao, Alexei Ciobanu +2
Differential wavefront sensing is an essential technique for optimising the performance of many precision interferometric experiments. Perhaps the most extensive application of thi…
Approaching the motional ground state of a 10 kg object
Chris Whittle, Evan D. Hall, Sheila Dwyer +197
The motion of a mechanical object -- even a human-sized object -- should be governed by the rules of quantum mechanics. Coaxing them into a quantum state is, however, difficult: th…
