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…

Tunable coherence laser interferometry: demonstrating 40dB of straylight suppression and compatibility with resonant optical cavities

Daniel Voigt, Leonie Eggers, Katharina-Sophie Isleif +3

A major limitation of laser interferometers using continuous wave lasers are parasitic light fields, such as ghost beams, scattered or stray light, which can cause non-linear noise…

Tests of General Relativity with GW170817

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1145

The recent discovery by Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo of a gravitational wave signal from a binary neutron star inspiral has enabled tests of general relativity (GR) with this n…

Search for gravitational waves from a long-lived remnant of the binary neutron star merger GW170817

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1138

One unanswered question about the binary neutron star coalescence GW170817 is the nature of its post-merger remnant. A previous search for post-merger gravitational waves targeted…
