A compact actively damped vibration isolation platform for optical experiments in ultra-high vacuum
Álvaro Fernández-Galiana, Lee McCuller, Jeff Kissel +13
We present a tabletop six-axis vibration isolation system, compatible with Ultra-High Vacuum (UHV), which is actively damped and provides 25 dB of isolation at 10 Hz and 65 dB at 1…
Damping parametric instabilities in future gravitational wave detectors by means of electrostatic actuators
John Miller, Matthew Evans, Lisa Barsotti +6
It has been suggested that the next generation of interferometric gravitational wave detectors may observe spontaneously excited parametric oscillatory instabilities. We present a…
First Demonstration of Electrostatic Damping of Parametric Instability at Advanced LIGO
Carl Blair, Slawek Gras, Richard Abbott +16
Interferometric gravitational wave detectors operate with high optical power in their arms in order to achieve high shot-noise limited strain sensitivity. A significant limitation…
Arm-length stabilisation for interferometric gravitational-wave detectors using frequency-doubled auxiliary lasers
Adam J. Mullavey, Bram J. J. Slagmolen, John Miller +6
Residual motion of the arm cavity mirrors is expected to prove one of the principal impediments to systematic lock acquisition in advanced gravitational-wave interferometers. We pr…
