Quantum Noise in Differential-type Gravitational-Wave Interferometer and Signal Recycling
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the sensitivity of laser interferometer gravitational-wave detectors, there exists the standard quantum limit (SQL), derived from Heisenberg’s uncertainty relation. The SQL can be overcome using the quantum correlation between shot noise and radiation-pressure noise. One of the methods to overcome SQL, signal recycling, is considered so far only in a recombined-type interferometer such as Advanced-LIGO, LCGT, and GEO600. In this paper, we investigated quantum noise and signal recycling in a differential-type interferometer. We also applied it to a real detector and compared the sensivity with a recombined type.

Quantum noise in second generation, signal-recycled laser interferometric gravitational-wave detectors
It has long been thought that the sensitivity of laser interferometric gravitational-wave detectors is limited by the free-mass standard quantum limit, unless radical redesigns of the interferometers or modifications of their input or output optics are introduced. Within a fully quantum-mechanical approach we show that in a secondgeneration interferometer composed of arm cavities and a signal r...

Dual recycling is the combination of signal recycling and power recycling; both optical techniques improve the shot-noise-limited sensitivity of interferometric gravitational-wave detectors. In addition, signal recycling can reduce the loss of light power due to imperfect interference and allows, in principle, to beat the standard quantum limit. The interferometric gravitational-wave detector G...
متن کاملSagnac Interferometer as a Speed-Meter-Type, Quantum-Nondemolition Gravitational-Wave Detector
According to quantum measurement theory, “speed meters” — devices that measure the momentum, or speed, of free test masses — are immune to the standard quantum limit (SQL). It is shown that a Sagnac-interferometer gravitational-wave detector is a speed meter and therefore in principle it can beat the SQL by large amounts over a wide band of frequencies. It is shown, further, that, when one igno...
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...

The Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) operates a 40m prototype interferometer on the Caltech campus. The primary mission of the prototype is to serve as an experimental testbed for upgrades to the LIGO interferometers and for gaining experience with advanced interferometric techniques, including detuned resonant sideband extraction (i.e. signal recycling) and dc readout...
