Sensitivity and Performance of the Advanced LIGO Detectors in the Third Observing Run

LIGO Instrument Science List, :, A. Buikema +197

On April 1st, 2019, the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (aLIGO), joined by the Advanced Virgo detector, began the third observing run, a year-long dedi…

Improving the Robustness of the Advanced LIGO Detectors to Earthquakes

Eyal Schwartz, A Pele, J Warner +196

Teleseismic, or distant, earthquakes regularly disrupt the operation of ground--based gravitational wave detectors such as Advanced LIGO. Here, we present \emph{EQ mode}, a new glo…

Quantum correlations between the light and kilogram-mass mirrors of LIGO

Haocun Yu, L. McCuller, M. Tse +196

Measurement of minuscule forces and displacements with ever greater precision encounters a limit imposed by a pillar of quantum mechanics: the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. A l…

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…

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…
