Cyclic-Quadrature Intracavity Signal Amplification for Gravitational-Wave Detectors
Kaido Suzuki, Ryo Iden, Ken-ichi Harada +1
The high-frequency sensitivity of laser-interferometric gravitational-wave detectors is limited by quantum shot noise. Increasing the circulating optical power reduces shot noise,…
A Polarization-Decomposed Method for Simulating Inhomogeneous Birefringence in Laser-Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Detectors
Haoyu Wang, Yuta Michimura, Keiko Kokeyama +9
Birefringence in test mass substrates is an emerging limitation for current and future laser-interferometric gravitational-wave detectors, particularly as detectors move toward hig…
Observation of an Optical Spring in a Robustly Controlled Signal-Recycled Michelson Interferometer
Kaido Suzuki, Ken-ichi Harada, Ryo Iden +4
We present, to the best of our knowledge, the first demonstration of an optical spring in a signal-recycled Michelson interferometer without arm cavities. The setup utilizes multip…
Decadal upgrade strategy for KAGRA toward post-O5 gravitational-wave astronomy
KAGRA Collaboration, T. Akutsu, M. Ando +150
The KAGRA Collaboration has investigated a ten-year upgrade strategy for the KAGRA gravitational wave detector, considering a total of 14 upgrade options that vary in mirror mass,…
Identification of Noise-Associated Glitches in KAGRA O3GK with Hveto
T. Akutsu, M. Ando, M. Aoumi +148
Transient noise ("glitches") in gravitational wave detectors can mimic or obscure true signals, significantly reducing detection sensitivity. Identifying and excluding glitch-conta…
Testing the quantum nature of gravity through interferometry
Yubao Liu, Yanbei Chen, Kentaro Somiya +1
We propose a Michelson-type interferometric protocol for testing the quantum nature of gravity through testing the phenomenology of semi-classical gravity theory, which predicts a…
