Fast Control for LIGO Interferometer Lock Acquisition
Masaya Ono, Nathan A. Holand, Radhika Bhatt +4
Gravitational wave observatories are large scale laser interferometers which are held on resonance to facilitate the detection of gravitational waves. Achieving this resonant condi…

Expanding the Quantum-Limited Gravitational-Wave Detection Horizon
Liu Tao, Mohak Bhattacharya, Peter Carney +9
We demonstrate the potential of new adaptive optical technology to expand the detection horizon of gravitational-wave observatories. Achieving greater quantum-noise-limited sensiti…
