Experimental investigation of the limitations of polarisation optics for future gravitational wave detectors based on the polarisation Sagnac speedmeter
A. P Spencer, B. W Barr, A. S. Bell +6
The polarisation Sagnac speedmeter interferometer has the potential to replace the Michelson interferometer as the instrumental basis for future generations of ground-based gravita…
Quantum noise cancellation in asymmetric speed meters with balanced homodyne readout
T Zhang, E Knyazev, S Steinlechner +17
Sagnac speed meter (SSM) topology is known as an alternative technique to reduce quantum back-action in gravitational-wave interferometers. However, any potential imbalance of the…
Prospects for detecting gravitational waves at 5 Hz with ground-based detectors
Hang Yu, Denis Martynov, Salvatore Vitale +16
We propose an upgrade to Advanced LIGO (aLIGO), named LIGO-LF, that focuses on improving the sensitivity in the 5-30 Hz low-frequency band, and we explore the upgrade's astrophysic…
Demonstration of a switchable damping system to allow low-noise operation of high-Q low-mass suspension systems
Jan-Simon Hennig, Bryan W. Barr, Angus S. Bell +16
Low mass suspension systems with high-Q pendulum stages are used to enable quantum radiation pressure noise limited experiments. Utilising multiple pendulum stages with vertical bl…
Effects of static and dynamic higher-order optical modes in balanced homodyne readout for future gravitational waves detectors
Teng Zhang, Stefan L Danilishin, Sebastian Steinlechner +14
With the recent discovery of Gravitational waves, marking the start of the new field of GW astronomy, the push for building more sensitive laser-interferometric gravitational wave…
Control of a velocity-sensitive audio-band quantum non-demolition interferometer
S. S. Leavey, S. L. Danilishin, A. Gläfke +16
The Sagnac speed meter interferometer topology can potentially provide enhanced sensitivity to gravitational waves in the audio-band compared to equivalent Michelson interferometer…
