Correlation between birefringence and absorption mapping in large-size Sapphire substrates for gravitational-wave interferometry [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
In high-sensitive laser interferometers, such as the gravitational-wave detector KAGRA, ultra-high-quality mirrors are essential. In the case of KAGRA, where cavity mirrors are cooled down to 20 K, large-size Sapphire crystals are used as the substrate ...

Acceleration noise due to space magnetic field for heliocentric gravitational wave detector [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The space-borne gravitational wave observatory is to detect low-frequency gravitational wave signals in the range of 0.1–100 mHz. The inertial sensors of space gravitational wave require very high accuracy for acceleration noise, and the interaction of ...

Exploring the CPT violation and birefringence of gravitational waves with ground- and space-based gravitational-wave interferometers

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2020
In the gravitational sector, we study the CPT violation and birefringence in gravitational waves. In presence of the CPT violation, a relative dephasing is generated between two circular polarization states of gravitational waves. This effect induces the

3D characterization of low optical absorption structures in large crystalline sapphire substrates for gravitational wave detectors

Scientific Reports, 2021
Very high-quality sapphire substrates are key elements of the cryogenic Japanese gravitational interferometer KAGRA, in which they are used to build the main mirrors, working as the test masses to sense the gravitational waves.
