Construction techniques and commissioning of the Three-Backlink Experiment for the LISA mission
Lea Bischof, Melanie Ast, Jiang Ji Ho-Zhang +10
Designed to detect gravitational waves in the lower-frequency band, the space mission LISA will open a new window to astronomy after its launch in the 2030s. Each LISA spacecraft h…
Demonstrating sub-picometer non-reciprocity levels in the Three-Backlink Experiment for LISA
Jiang Ji Ho-Zhang, Melanie Ast, Lea Bischof +9
The current planned space-based gravitational-wave detectors require a bidirectional optical connection, referred to as Backlink, between two adjacent optical benches to provide a…
Continuous-wave squeezed states of light via 'up-down' self-phase modulation
Amrit Pal Singh, Stefan Ast, Moritz Mehmet +2
Continuous-wave (cw) squeezed states of light have applications in sensing, metrology and secure communication. In recent decades their efficient generation has been based on param…
Generation of very high-order high purity Gaussian modes via spatial light modulation
Stefan Ast, Sibilla Di Pace, Jacques Millo +3
We experimentally demonstrate the conversion of a fundamental laser mode at 1064\,nm to higher order Hermite-Gaussian modes (HG) of arbitrary order via a commerci…
Towards the LISA Backlink: Experiment design for comparing optical phase reference distribution systems
Katharina-Sophie Isleif, Lea Bischof, Stefan Ast +11
LISA is a proposed space-based laser interferometer detecting gravitational waves by measuring distances between free-floating test masses housed in three satellites in a triangula…
Beating the standard sensitivity-bandwidth limit of cavity-enhanced interferometers with internal squeezed-light generation
Mikhail Korobko, Lisa Kleybolte, Stefan Ast +3
The shot-noise limited peak sensitivity of cavity-enhanced interferometric measurement devices, such as gravitational-wave detectors, can be improved by increasing the cavity fines…
