Analytical model for ring heater thermal compensation in the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory
Joshua Ramette, Marie Kasprzack, Aidan Brooks +3
Advanced laser interferometer gravitational-wave detectors use high laser power to achieve design sensitivity. A small part of this power is absorbed in the interferometer cavity m…
Observation of Parametric Instability in Advanced LIGO
Matthew Evans, Slawek Gras, Peter Fritschel +41
Parametric instabilities have long been studied as a potentially limiting effect in high-power interferometric gravitational wave detectors. Until now, however, these instabilities…
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…
