In-situ characterization of the thermal state of resonant optical interferometers via tracking of their higher-order mode resonances
Chris L. Mueller, Paul Fulda, Rana X. Adhikari +9
Thermal lensing in resonant optical interferometers such as those used for gravitational wave detection is a concern due to the negative impact on control signals and instrument se…
Observation of Three Mode Parametric Interactions in Long Optical Cavities
C. Zhao, L. Ju, Y. Fan +8
We report the first observation of three-mode opto-acoustic parametric interactions of the type predicted to cause parametric instabilities in an 80 m long, high optical power cavi…
Coherent searches for periodic gravitational waves from unknown isolated sources and Scorpius X-1: results from the second LIGO science run
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration
We carry out two searches for periodic gravitational waves using the most sensitive few hours of data from the second LIGO science run. The first search is targeted at isolated, pr…
Compensation of Strong Thermal Lensing in High Optical Power Cavities
C. Zhao, J. Degallaix, L. Ju +13
In an experiment to simulate the conditions in high optical power advanced gravitational wave detectors such as Advanced LIGO, we show that strong thermal lenses form in accordance…
