Laser-interferometer gravitational-wave optical-spring detectors
Using a quantum mechanical approach, we show that in a gravitationalwave interferometer composed of arm cavities and a signal recycling cavity, e.g., the LIGO-II configuration, the radiation-pressure force acting on the mirrors not only disturbs the motion of the free masses randomly due to quantum fluctuations, but also and more fundamentally, makes them respond to forces as though they were c...
متن کاملLaser interferometer gravitational radiation detectors
Some techniques proposed or currently under development for detection of gravitational radiation by laser interferometers are reviewed, with particular emphasis on experiments covering the lower frequencies potentially accessible to ground based instruments.
متن کاملSignal recycled laser-interferometer gravitational-wave detectors as optical springs
Using the force-susceptibility formalism of linear quantum measurements, we study the dynamics of signal recycled interferometers, such as LIGO-II. We show that, although the antisymmetric mode of motion of the four arm-cavity mirrors is originally described by a free mass, when the signal-recycling mirror is added to the interferometer, the radiation-pressure force not only disturbs the motion...
متن کاملA Photon Calibrator for Interferometric Gravitational Wave Detectors
Photon calibrators use amplitude-modulated lasers to actuate test masses in interferometric gravitational wave detectors. They provide an independent check of the conventional detector calibration obtained via coil actuators. They also have the potential to improve overall calibration precision. Here we describe photon calibrators as currently implemented in LIGO and estimate the precision of t...
متن کاملScaling law in signal recycled laser-interferometer gravitational-wave detectors
By mapping the signal-recycling (SR) optical configuration to a three-mirror cavity, and then to a single detuned cavity, we express SR optomechanical dynamics, input–output relation and noise spectral density in terms of only three characteristic parameters: the (free) optical resonant frequency and decay time of the entire interferometer, and the laser power circulating in arm cavities. These...
