Shot noise in gravitational-wave detectors with Fabry-Perot arms.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Shot-noise-limited sensitivity is calculated for gravitational-wave interferometers with Fabry-Perot arms, similar to those being installed at the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) and the Italian-French Laser Interferometer Collaboration (VIRGO) facility. This calculation includes the effect of nonstationary shot noise that is due to phase modulation of the light. The resulting formula is experimentally verified by a test interferometer with suspended mirrors in the 40-m arms.

Linewidth-broadened Fabry–Perot cavities within future gravitational wave detectors
The bandwidth of LIGO-like terrestrial interferometric gravitational wave detectors is set by the pole of the Fabry–Perot cavities within the arms of the Michelson interferometer. This constraint arises because the gain of gravitational wave-induced signal sidebands is limited to frequencies within the linewidth of the cavities. The nature of standard Fabry–Perot cavities is such that one canno...
متن کاملResonant sideband extraction: a new configuration for interferometric gravitational wave detectors
We introduce a new Fabry—Perot based interferometnc gravitational wave detector that, compared with previous designs, greatly decreases the amount ofpower that must be transmitted through optical substrates to obtain a given light power in its arms. This significantly reduces the effects ofwavefront distortions caused by heating due to absorption in the optics,and allows an improved broadband s...
متن کاملAn experimental demonstration of resonant sideband extraction for laser-interferometric gravitational wave detectors
Resonant sideband extraction is a new optical configuration for laser-interferometric gravitational wave detectors with Fabry-Perot cavities in the arms. It reduces the thermal load on the beam splitter and the coupling mirrors of the cavities and also allows one to adapt the frequency response of the detector to a variety of requirements. We report the first experimental demonstration using a ...
متن کاملDemonstration of a power-recycled Michelson interferometer with Fabry-Perot arms by frontal modulation.
Large-scale gravitational-wave detectors currently under construction such as the LIGO detectors use multiplemirror resonant optical systems containing several surfaces at which the relative phase of interfering light beams must be controlled. We describe a tabletop experiment that demonstrates a scheme for extracting signals in such an interferometer corresponding to deviations from perfect in...
متن کاملCoupling of lateral grating displacement to the output ports of a diffractive Fabry-Perot cavity
Diffraction gratings have been proposed as core elements in future laserinterferometric gravitational-wave detectors. In this paper, we use a steady-state technique to derive coupling of lateral grating displacement to the output ports of a diffractive Fabry-Perot cavity. By introducing a signal to noise ratio (SNR) for each of the three cavity output ports the magnitude of the noise sidebands ...
