Coating-free monolithic fused silica resonator via total internal reflection for precision laser stabilization
Swadha Pandey, Rodica Martin, Peter Fritschel +2
Brownian noise in the thin-film mirror coatings of optical reference cavities is a fundamental limitation in precision metrology, including gravitational-wave detectors and optical…
A Cryogenic Silicon Interferometer for Gravitational-wave Detection
Rana X Adhikari, Odylio Aguiar, Koji Arai +108
The detection of gravitational waves from compact binary mergers by LIGO has opened the era of gravitational wave astronomy, revealing a previously hidden side of the cosmos. To ma…
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…
Aerogel Waveplates
P. Bhupathi, J. Hwang, R. M. Martin +5
Optical transmission measurements were made on 98% porosity silica aerogel samples under various degrees of uniaxial strain. Uniaxially compressed aerogels exhibit large birefringe…
