Addressing rotational motion on gravitational waves detectors

Chiara Di Fronzo, Jian Liu

The rotational components of Earth's seismic motion are one of the major contributions to limit the sensitivity of terrestrial gravitational-wave detectors at frequencies below 10…

First Demonstration of Optical Feedback Control to Parametric Instability at Advanced LIGO

Juntao Pan, Carl Blair, Vladimir Bossilkov +5

Increasing the circulating power in gravitational-wave detectors to the megawatt level is essential for future sensitivity improvement, but this is critically limited by optomechan…

A Novel Arm-Length Stabilization Scheme for Gravitational-Wave Detectors with AlGaAs/GaAs Coated Mirrors

Jian Liu, Juntao Pan, Carl Blair +7

The arm length stabilisation system is employed in gravitational-wave detectors to reduce the velocity of the mirrors such that the arm cavities can be brought onto resonance in a…

Seismic Isolation of Optical Tables Using Piezo Actuators

Tailong Wang, Carl Blair, Ammar Al-Jodah +6

Seismic isolation is crucial for gravitational wave detectors as it minimizes ground vibrations, enabling the detection of faint gravitational wave signals. An active seismic isola…

Demonstration of optical spring in an un-detuned cavity containing an optical parametric amplifier

Jian Liu, Juntao Pan, Carl Blair +4

Here we demonstrate the capacity to manipulate the optical spring (OS) effect by employing an optical parametric amplifier (OPA) within an optical cavity. We observed more than a f…

First Demonstration of Electrostatic Damping of Parametric Instability at Advanced LIGO

Carl Blair, Slawek Gras, Richard Abbott +16

Interferometric gravitational wave detectors operate with high optical power in their arms in order to achieve high shot-noise limited strain sensitivity. A significant limitation…
