The Gravitational Universe
The eLISA Consortium, :, P. Amaro Seoane +158
The last century has seen enormous progress in our understanding of the Universe. We know the life cycles of stars, the structure of galaxies, the remnants of the big bang, and hav…
Digital laser frequency control and phase stabilization loops for a high precision space-borne metrology system
Gerald Hechenblaikner, Vinzenz Wand, Michael Kersten +5
We report on the design, implementation and characterization of fully digital control loops for laser frequency stabilization, differential phase-locking and performance optimizati…
Real-time phasefront detector for heterodyne interferometers
Felipe Guzmán Cervantes, Gerhard Heinzel, Antonio F. García Marín +4
We present a real-time differential phasefront detector sensitive to better than 3 mrad rms, which corresponds to a precision of about 500 pm. This detector performs a spatially re…
Coupling characterization and noise studies of the Optical Metrology System on-board the LISA Pathfinder Mission
G. Hechenblaikner, R. Gerndt, U. Johann +8
In this article we describe the first investigations of the complete engineering model of the Optical Metrology System (OMS), a key subsystem of the LISA Pathfinder science mission…
On-orbit alignment and diagnostics for the LISA Technology Package
A F Garcia Marin, V Wand, F Steier +5
This paper presents a procedure to perform fully autonomous on-orbit alignment of the interferometer on board the LISA Technology Package (LTP). LTP comprises two free-floating tes…
Phase locking to a LISA arm: first results on a hardware model
Antonio F Garcia Marin, Gerhard Heinzel, Roland Schilling +8
We present the first experimental confirmation of the so-called "self-phaselocked delay interferometry". This laser frequency stabilization technique consists basically in comparin…
