GEO 600 and the GEO-HF upgrade program: successes and challenges

K. L. Dooley, J. R. Leong, T. Adams +25

The German-British laser-interferometric gravitational wave detector GEO 600 is in its 14th year of operation since its first lock in 2001. After GEO 600 participated in science ru…

Optical layout for a 10m Fabry-Pérot Michelson interferometer with tunable stability

Christian Gräf, Stefan Hild, Harald Lück +4

The sensitivity of high-precision interferometric measurements can be limited by Brownian noise within dielectric mirror coatings. This occurs, for instance, in the optical resonat…

Status of the GEO 600 squeezed-light laser

Alexander Khalaidovski, Henning Vahlbruch, Nico Lastzka +5

In the course of the high-frequency upgrade of GEO 600, its optical configuration was extended by a squeezed-light laser [1]. Recently, a non-classically enhanced measurement sensi…

Long-term stable squeezed vacuum state of light for gravitational wave detectors

Alexander Khalaidovski, Henning Vahlbruch, Nico Lastzka +4

Currently, the German/British gravitational wave detector GEO600 is being upgraded in course of the GEO-HF program. One part of this upgrade consists of the integration of a squeez…

Broadband squeezing of quantum noise in a Michelson interferometer with Twin-Signal-Recycling

André Thüring, Christian Gräf, Henning Vahlbruch +3

Twin-Signal-Recycling (TSR) builds on the resonance doublet of two optically coupled cavities and efficiently enhances the sensitivity of an interferometer at a dedicated signal fr…

The GEO600 squeezed light source

Henning Vahlbruch, Alexander Khalaidovski, Nico Lastzka +3

The next upgrade of the GEO600 gravitational wave detector is scheduled for 2010 and will, in particular, involve the implementation of squeezed light. The required non-classical l…
