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…
Precision measurements of the magnetic parameters of LISA Pathfinder test masses
M Armano, H Audley, J Baird +76
A precise characterization of the magnetic properties of LISA Pathfinder free falling test-masses is of special interest for future gravitational wave observatory in space. Magneti…
Magnetic-induced force noise in LISA Pathfinder free-falling test masses
M Armano, H Audley, J Baird +76
LISA Pathfinder was a mission designed to test key technologies required for gravitational wave detection in space. Magnetically driven forces play a key role in the instrument sen…
