GEO 600: building a gravitational wave observatory
An international network of laser-interferometric gravitational wave detectors is nearing the end of the main commissioning phase and will soon enter into an extended observational period, collecting data for a duration of order one year. This article outlines the construction, design and commissioning of the GEO 600 gravitational wave observatory. GEO 600 is a laserinterferometric gravitationa...
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 کاملA Resonant Mode for Gravitational Wave Detectors based on Atom Interferometry
We describe a new atom interferometric gravitational wave detector design that can operate in a resonant mode for increased sensitivity. By oscillating the positions of the atomic wavepackets, this resonant detection mode allows for coherently enhanced, narrow-band sensitivity at target frequencies. The proposed detector is flexible and can be rapidly switched between broadband and narrow-band ...
متن کاملPreparing GEO 600 for gravitational wave astronomy—a status report
A number of gravitational wave detectors throughout the world are currently moving from the final stages of commissioning to a more continuous observational mode. Together, these detectors form a global network which will search for gravitational waves from various astrophysical sources, such as continuous wave signals from rotating neutron stars, transient signals from, for example, inspiralli...
متن کاملArm cavity resonant sideband control for laser interferometric gravitational wave detectors.
We present a new optical control scheme for a laser interferometric gravitational wave detector that has a high degree of tolerance to interferometer spatial distortions and noise on the input light. The scheme involves resonating the rf sidebands in an interferometer arm cavity.
