Sensitivity and control of a 6-axis fused-silica seismometer
Jiri Smetana, Amit Singh Ubhi, Emilia Chick +12
We present a pair of seismometers capable of measurement in all six axes of rigid motion. The vacuum-compatible devices implement compact interferometric displacement sensors to su…
Design and sensitivity of a 6-axis seismometer for gravitational wave observatories
Leonid Prokhorov, Sam Cooper, Amit Singh Ubhi +13
We present the design, control system, and noise analysis of a 6-axis seismometer comprising a mass suspended by a single fused silica fibre. We utilise custom-made, compact Michel…
A High Stability Optical Shadow Sensor with Applications for Precision Accelerometers
Steven G Bramsiepe, David Loomes, Richard P Middlemiss +2
Gravimeters are devices which measure changes in the value of the gravitational acceleration, \textit{g}. This information is used to infer changes in density under the ground allo…
First Demonstration of Electrostatic Damping of Parametric Instability at Advanced LIGO
Carl Blair, Slawek Gras, Richard Abbott +16
Interferometric gravitational wave detectors operate with high optical power in their arms in order to achieve high shot-noise limited strain sensitivity. A significant limitation…
The next detectors for gravitational wave astronomy
David Blair, Li Ju, Chunnong Zhao +15
This paper focuses on the next detectors for gravitational wave astronomy which will be required after the current ground based detectors have completed their initial observations,…
