Finding the Maximal Contrast of Two Elliptical Gaussian Mode Beams with Aligned Ellipticities
Mark Zhu, Sina M. Koehlenbeck, Edgard Bonilla +1
Interferometric contrast is a key factor limiting the sensitivity of precision optical measurements, including the laser interferometers used in gravitational-wave detection. While…
Microseismic Noise Mitigation with Machine Learning for Advanced LIGO
Christina Reissel, Devin Lai, Shivanshu Dwivedi +9
The unprecedented sensitivity of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory, which enables the detection of distant astrophysical sources, also renders the detectors h…
Improving cosmological reach of a gravitational wave observatory using Deep Loop Shaping
Jonas Buchli, Brendan Tracey, Tomislav Andric +28
Improved low-frequency sensitivity of gravitational wave observatories would unlock study of intermediate-mass black hole mergers, binary black hole eccentricity, and provide early…
GEMINI: The First Underground Testbed for Seismic Isolation and Interplatform Control in Next-Generation Gravitational-Wave Detectors
Tomislav Andric, Jan Harms, Ilaria Caravella +18
GEMINI is an underground research and development facility dedicated to advancing seismic isolation and control technologies for future gravitational-wave observatories, including…
LIGO Detector Characterization in the first half of the fourth Observing run
S. Soni, B. K. Berger, D. Davis +232
Progress in gravitational-wave astronomy depends upon having sensitive detectors with good data quality. Since the end of the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA third Observing run in March 2020, de…
