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…
Improving LIGO calibration accuracy by tracking and compensating for slow temporal variations
D. Tuyenbayev, S. Karki, J. Betzwieser +9
Calibration of the second-generation LIGO interferometric gravitational-wave detectors employs a method that uses injected periodic modulations to track and compensate for slow tem…
