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…
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 US Program in Ground-Based Gravitational Wave Science: Contribution from the LIGO Laboratory
David Reitze, Rich Abbott, Carl Adams +181
Recent gravitational-wave observations from the LIGO and Virgo observatories have brought a sense of great excitement to scientists and citizens the world over. Since September 201…
Thermal modelling of Advanced LIGO test masses
Haoyu Wang, Carl Blair, Miguel Dovale Álvarez +8
High-reflectivity fused silica mirrors are at the epicentre of current advanced gravitational wave detectors. In these detectors, the mirrors interact with high power laser beams.…
