LIGO A: Detector Design and Science Prospects Beyond A+
L. Sun, K. Kuns, B. J. J. Slagmolen +1153
We present the LIGO A detector concept, an upgrade for the LIGO observatories based on room-temperature interferometers beyond the fifth observing run (O5). Building on th…
Demonstration of a compact optical resonator-based displacement sensing technique with sub-femtometer precision
Shreevathsa Chalathadka Subrahmanya, Jonathan Joseph Carter, Oliver Gerberding
We demonstrate sub-femtometer displacement-sensing results achieved with a compact optical resonator-based laser interferometry technique called heterodyne cavity-tracking, intende…
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…
Distributed Acoustic Fiber Sensing for Research Campuses and Large Scientific Infrastructures -- The Hamburg WAVE proto-network
Oliver Bölt, Luigia Cristiano, Sandy Croatto +17
Here, we demonstrate and investigate how Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) can be utilized on research campuses and in large scientific infrastructures to study environmental vibr…
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…
