A Cryogenic Silicon Interferometer for Gravitational-wave Detection
Rana X Adhikari, Odylio Aguiar, Koji Arai +108
The detection of gravitational waves from compact binary mergers by LIGO has opened the era of gravitational wave astronomy, revealing a previously hidden side of the cosmos. To ma…
Sensing Optical Cavity Mismatch with a Mode-Converter and Quadrant Photodiode
Fabian Magaña-Sandoval, Thomas Vo, Daniel Vander-Hyde +2
We present a new technique for sensing optical cavity mode mismatch and alignment by using a cylindrical lens mode converting telescope, radio-frequency quadrant photodiodes, and a…
