Precision interferometry in a new shape: higher-order Laguerre-Gauss modes for gravitational wave detection [PDF]

, 2012
The sensitivity of the next generation of interferometric gravitational wave detectors will be limited in part by thermal noises of the optics. It has been proposed that using higher-order Laguerre-Gauss (LG) beams in the interferometers can reduce this ...

Measurement of Thermo-Optic Properties of Thin Film Dielectric Coatings [PDF]

, 2013
We have carried out an experiment to test the theory of the thermo-optic response of a dielectric stack mirror coating and to measure parameters of interest in calculating thermo-optic noise. Specifically, we measured the coefficient of thermal expansion

The Next Generation Global Gravitational Wave Observatory: The Science Book [PDF]

, 2021
The next generation of ground-based gravitational-wave detectors will observe coalescences of black holes and neutron stars throughout the cosmos, thousands of them with exceptional fidelity. The Science Book is the result of a 3-year effort to study the

Implementation of an Efficient Bayesian Search for Gravitational-wave Bursts with Memory in Pulsar Timing Array Data

The Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The standard Bayesian technique for searching pulsar timing data for gravitational-wave bursts with memory (BWMs) using Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampling is very computationally expensive to perform. In this paper, we explain the implementation of
