A Decision between Bayesian and Frequentist Upper Limit in Analyzing Continuous Gravitational Waves
Given the sensitivity of current ground-based Gravitational Wave (GW) detectors, any continuous-wave signal we can realistically expect will be at a level or below the background noise. Hence, any data analysis of detector data will need to rely on statistical techniques to separate the signal from the noise. While with the current sensitivity of our detectors we do not expect to detect any tru...
متن کاملSensitivity of intracavity filtering schemes for detecting gravitational waves
We consider enhancing the sensitivity of future gravitational-wave detectors by adding optical filters inside the signal-recycling cavity—an intracavity filtering scheme, which coherently feeds the sideband signal back to the interferometer with a proper frequency-dependent phase. We study three cases of such a scheme with different motivations: (i) the case of backaction noise evasion, trying ...
متن کاملQuantum Limits of Interferometer Topologies for Gravitational Radiation Detection
In order to expand the astrophysical reach of gravitational wave detectors, several interferometer topologies have been proposed, in the past, to evade the thermodynamic and quantum mechanical limits in future detectors. In this work, we make a systematic comparison among these topologies by considering their sensitivities and complexities. We numerically optimize their sensitivities by introdu...
متن کاملAudio-Band Frequency-Dependent Squeezing for Gravitational-Wave Detectors.
Quantum vacuum fluctuations impose strict limits on precision displacement measurements, those of interferometric gravitational-wave detectors among them. Introducing squeezed states into an interferometer's readout port can improve the sensitivity of the instrument, leading to richer astrophysical observations. However, optomechanical interactions dictate that the vacuum's squeezed quadrature ...
متن کاملAdvanced technologies for future ground-based, laser-interferometric gravitational wave detectors
We present a review of modern optical techniques being used and developed for the field of gravitational wave detection. We describe the current state-of-the-art of gravitational waves detector technologies with regard to optical layouts, suspensions and test masses. We discuss the dominant sources and noise in each of these subsystems and the developments that will help mitigate them for futur...
