Huddle test measurement of a near Johnson noise limited geophone
R. Kirchhoff, C. M. Mow-Lowry, V. B. Adya +11
In this paper the sensor noise of two geophone configurations (L-22D and L-4C geophones from Sercel with custom built amplifiers) was measured by performing two huddle tests. It is…
Passive-performance, analysis, and upgrades of a 1-ton seismic attenuation system
G Bergmann, C M Mow-Lowry, V B Adya +13
The 10m Prototype facility at the Albert-Einstein-Institute (AEI) in Hanover, Germany, employs three large seismic attenuation systems to reduce mechanical motion. The AEI Seismic-…
Effects of transients in LIGO suspensions on searches for gravitational waves
M. Walker, T. D. Abbott, S. M. Aston +200
This paper presents an analysis of the transient behavior of the Advanced LIGO suspensions used to seismically isolate the optics. We have characterized the transients in the longi…
Quantum correlation measurements in interferometric gravitational wave detectors
D. V. Martynov, V. V. Frolov, S. Kandhasamy +199
Quantum fluctuations in the phase and amplitude quadratures of light set limitations on the sensitivity of modern optical instruments. The sensitivity of the interferometric gravit…
