Squeezed-field injection for gravitational wave interferometers
In a recent table-top experiment we demonstrated the compatibility of three advanced interferometer techniques for gravitational wave detection, namely power-recycling , detuned signal-recycling and squeezed field injection. The interferometer’s signal to noise ratio was improved by up to 2.8 dB beyond the coherent state’s shot-noise. This value was mainly limited by optical losses on the squee...
متن کاملSensitivity Curves for Spaceborne Gravitational Wave Interferometers
To determine whether particular sources of gravitational radiation will be detectable by a specific gravitational wave detector, it is necessary to know the sensitivity limits of the instrument. These instrumental sensitivities are often depicted ~after averaging over source position and polarization! by graphing the minimal values of the gravitational wave amplitude detectable by the instrumen...
متن کاملQuantum Noise in Gravitational-wave Interferometers
We present an overview of quantum noise in gravitational wave interferometers. Current gravitational wave detectors are modified variants of a Michelson interferometer and the quantum noise limits are strongly influenced by the optical configuration of the interferometer. We describe recent developments in the treatment of quantum noise in the complex interferometers of present-day and future g...
متن کاملOptimized multilayer dielectric mirror coatings for gravitational wave interferometers
The limit sensitivity of interferometric gravitational wave antennas is set by the thermal noise in the dielectric mirror coatings. These are currently made of alternating quarter-wavelength high/low index material layers with low mechanical losses. The quarter-wavelength design yields the maximum reflectivity for a fixed number of layers, but not the lowest noise for a prescribed reflectivity....
متن کاملPractical speed meter designs for quantum nondemolition gravitational-wave interferometers
In the quest to develop viable designs for third-generation optical interferometric gravitational-wave detectors ~e.g., LIGO-III and EURO!, one strategy is to monitor the relative momentum or speed of the test-mass mirrors, rather than monitoring their relative position. A previous paper analyzed a straightforward but impractical design for a speed-meter interferometer that accomplishes this. T...
