Demonstration of a next-generation wavefront actuator for gravitational-wave detection
Tyler Rosauer, Huy Tuong Cao, Mohak Bhattacharya +11
In the last decade, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) and the European Virgo observatory have opened a new observational window on the universe. These…
Effects of mirror birefringence and its fluctuations to laser interferometric gravitational wave detectors
Yuta Michimura, Haoyu Wang, Francisco Salces-Carcoba +4
Crystalline materials are promising candidates as substrates or high-reflective coatings of mirrors to reduce thermal noises in future laser interferometric gravitational wave dete…
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 absorbers in Advanced LIGO
Aidan F. Brooks, Gabriele Vajente, Hiro Yamamoto +198
Small, highly absorbing points are randomly present on the surfaces of the main interferometer optics in Advanced LIGO. The resulting nano-meter scale thermo-elastic deformations a…
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…
An analysis and visualization of the output mode-matching requirements for squeezing in Advanced LIGO and future gravitational wave detectors
Antonio Perreca, Aidan Brooks, Jonathan Richardson +2
The sensitivity of ground-based gravitational wave (GW) detectors will be improved in the future via the injection of frequency-dependent squeezed vacuum. The achievable improvemen…
