Interferometer readout-noise below the Standard Quantum Limit of a membrane
Tobias Westphal, Daniel Friedrich, Henning Kaufer +7
Here we report on the realization of a Michelson-Sagnac interferometer whose purpose is the precise characterization of the motion of membranes showing significant light transmissi…
Search for Gravitational Waves from Low Mass Compact Binary Coalescence in LIGO's Sixth Science Run and Virgo's Science Runs 2 and 3
the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +796
We report on a search for gravitational waves from coalescing compact binaries using LIGO and Virgo observations between July 7, 2009 and October 20, 2010. We searched for signals…
All-sky Search for Periodic Gravitational Waves in the Full S5 LIGO Data
J. Abadie, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +794
We report on an all-sky search for periodic gravitational waves in the frequency band 50-800 Hz and with the frequency time derivative in the range of 0 through -6e-9 Hz/s. Such a…
Laser interferometry with translucent and absorbing mechanical oscillators
D. Friedrich, H. Kaufer, T. Westphal +7
The sensitivity of laser interferometers can be pushed into regimes that enable the direct observation of quantum behaviour of mechanical oscillators. In the past, membranes with s…
