LIGO A: Detector Design and Science Prospects Beyond A+
L. Sun, K. Kuns, B. J. J. Slagmolen +1153
We present the LIGO A detector concept, an upgrade for the LIGO observatories based on room-temperature interferometers beyond the fifth observing run (O5). Building on th…
Quantum Noise Reduction in the Space-based Gravitational Wave Antenna DECIGO Using Optical Springs and Homodyne Detection scheme
Kenji Tsuji, Tomohiro Ishikawa, Kentaro Komori +6
The DECi-hertz Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (DECIGO) is a planned space-based, next-generation gravitational wave detector aimed at observing primordial gravitatio…
Quantum Noise from Vacuum Field Injection in Optical Cavities with Diffraction-related Loss
Kurumi Umemura, Tomohiro Ishikawa, Kenji Tsuji +6
The space-based gravitational wave detector DECIGO is designed to observe primordial gravitational waves with 1,000 km Fabry-Perot cavities. Its sensitivity is limited by quantum n…
Jiggled interferometer: Ground-based gravitational wave detector using rapidly-repeated free-falling test masses
Shoki Iwaguchi, Bin Wu, Kurumi Umemura +10
We propose the Jiggled Interferometer (JIGI), a novel ground-based gravitational wave detector employing low-frequency noise mitigation similar to that of space-based detectors. Us…
Proof-of-Principle Experiment on a Displacement-Noise-Free Neutron Interferometer for Gravitational Wave Detection
Shoki Iwaguchi, Takuhiro Fujiie, Taro Nambu +13
The displacement-noise-free interferometer (DFI) is designed to eliminate all displacement-induced noise while retaining sensitivity to gravitational wave (GW) signals. Ground-base…
