Comparative Sensitivities of Gravitational Wave Detectors based on Atom Interferometers and Light Interferometers
iNe consider a class of proposed gravitational wave detectors based on multiple atomic interferometers separated by large baselines and referenced by common laser systems. We compute the sensitivity limits of these detectors due to intrinsic phase noise of the light sources, non-inertial motion of the light sources, and atomic shot noise and compare them to sensitivity limits for traditional li...
متن کاملApplication of Fast Light in Gravitational Wave Detection with Interferometers and Resonators
In this paper, we study several designs for interferometric gravitational wave detectors, and the potential for enhancing their performance with a fast-light medium. First, we explore the effect of such a medium on designs similar to those already planned for Advanced LIGO. Then we review the zero-area Sagnac interferometer for GW detection, comparing its properties against the more conventiona...
متن کاملInterferometers for displacement-noise-free gravitational-wave detection.
We propose a class of displacement- and laser-noise-free gravitational-wave-interferometer configurations, which does not sense nongeodesic mirror motion and laser noise, but provides a nonvanishing gravitational-wave signal. Our interferometers consist of four mirrors and two beam splitters, which form four Mach-Zehnder interferometers. By contrast to previous works, no composite mirrors with ...
متن کاملReview: Accelerometer Development for Use in Gravitational Wave-Detection Interferometers
Accelerometers were and are being developed to instrument the seismic attenuation chains of gravitational wave (GW) interferometric detectors. The main requirements of these instruments are strong directionality (>10 rejection of signal from orthogonal directions for feedback) and vacuum compatibility as well as high low-frequency sensitivity. Because of the directionality requirements, GW acce...
متن کاملSqueezed-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...
