A 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...

Precise calibration of LIGO test mass actuators using photon radiation pressure

Precise calibration of kilometer-scale interferometric gravitational wave detectors is crucial for source localization and waveform reconstruction. A technique that uses the radiation pressure of a power-modulated auxiliary laser to induce calibrated displacements of one of the ∼10 kg arm cavity mirrors, a so-called photon calibrator, has been demonstrated previously and has recently been imple...

Improving the Data Quality of Advanced LIGO Based on Early Engineering Run Results

The Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors have completed their initial upgrade phase and will enter the first observing run in late 2015, with detector sensitivity expected to improve in future runs. Through the combined efforts of on-site commissioners and the Detector Characterization group of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, interferometer performanc...

Brownian Thermal Noise in Interferometric Gravitational Wave Detectors and Single Photon Optomechanics

The Laser Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is designed to detect the Gravitational Waves (GW) predicted by Albert Einstein’s general theory of relativity. The advanced LIGO project is ongoing an upgrade to increase the detection sensitivity by more than a factor of 10, which will make the events detection a routine occurrence. In addition to using higher power lasers, heavi...

The Advanced LIGO timing system

Gravitational wave detection using a network of detectors relies upon the precise time stamping of gravitational wave signals. The relative arrival times between detectors are crucial, e.g. in recovering the source direction, an essential step in using gravitational waves for multi-messenger astronomy. Due to the large size of gravitational wave detectors, timing at different parts of a given d...
