Coating-free monolithic fused silica resonator via total internal reflection for precision laser stabilization
Swadha Pandey, Rodica Martin, Peter Fritschel +2
Brownian noise in the thin-film mirror coatings of optical reference cavities is a fundamental limitation in precision metrology, including gravitational-wave detectors and optical…
Precision dynamics of resonantly enhanced optical parametric amplifiers
Evan D. Hall
Optical parametric amplification is a crucial technology for the production of continuous-wave squeezed vacuum, which is now applied to gravitational-wave interferometry and other…
True and apparent motion of optomechanical resonators, with applications to feedback cooling of gravitational wave detector test masses
Evan D. Hall, Kevin Kuns
Modern optomechanical systems employ increasingly sophisticated quantum-mechanical states of light to probe and manipulate mechanical motion. Squeezed states are now used routinely…
Squeezing the quantum noise of a gravitational-wave detector below the standard quantum limit
Wenxuan Jia, Victoria Xu, Kevin Kuns +168
Precision measurements of space and time, like those made by the detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO), are often confronted with fundamental…
