Angular control of optical cavities in a radiation pressure dominated regime: the Enhanced LIGO case
Katherine L Dooley, Lisa Barsotti, Rana X Adhikari +6
We describe the angular sensing and control of the 4 km detectors of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO). The culmination of first generation LIGO detect…
Residual Amplitude Modulation in Interferometric Gravitational Wave Detectors
Keiko Kokeyama, Kiwamu Izumi, William Z. Korth +3
The effects of residual amplitude modulation (RAM) in laser interferometers using heterodyne sensing can be substantial and difficult to mitigate. In this work, we analyze the effe…
Impact of backscattered light in a squeezing-enhanced interferometric gravitational-wave detector
S. S. Y. Chua, S. Dwyer, L. Barsotti +20
Squeezed states of light have been recently used to improve the sensitivity of laser interferometric gravitational-wave detectors beyond the quantum limit. To completely establish…
