Noise and Thermal Performance of a Sub-Attofarad Capacitance Sensor for Precision Measurements, with Applications in Gravitational Wave Detectors
S. Saraf, S. Buchman, C. Y. Lui +2
We describe the design principles, fabrication, and characterization of a precision AC resonant capacitance bridge (RCB) sensor, based on a resonant differential planar printed cir…
Differential optical shadow sensor for sub-nanometer displacement measurement and its application to drag-free satellites
Andreas Zoellner, Si Tan, Shailendhar Saraf +4
We present a method for 3D sub-nanometer displacement measurement using a set of differential optical shadow sensor. It is based on using pairs of collimated beams on opposite side…
Corner-cube retro-reflector instrument for advanced lunar laser ranging
Slava G. Turyshev, James G. Williams, William M. Folkner +6
Lunar laser ranging (LLR) has made major contributions to our understanding of the Moon's internal structure and the dynamics of the Earth-Moon system. Because of the recent improv…
