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

LIGO: the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory [PDF]

Reports on Progress in Physics, 2009
The goal of the Laser Interferometric Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) is to detect and study gravitational waves of astrophysical origin. Direct detection of gravitational waves holds the promise of testing general relativity in the strong-field regime, of providing a new probe of exotic objects such as black hole and neutron stars, and of ...

A CRYSTAL-BASED MATTER-WAVE INTERFEROMETRIC GRAVITATIONAL-WAVE OBSERVATORY [PDF]

Quantum Aspects of Beam Physics 2003, 2004
It is shown that atom interferometry allows for the construction of MIGO, the Matter-wave Interferometric Gravitational-wave Observatory. MIGOs of the same sensitivity as LIGO or LISA are expected to be orders of magnitude smaller than either one. A design for MIGO using crystalline diffraction gratings is introduced, and its sensitivity is calculated.

Construction of KAGRA: An underground gravitational-wave observatory [PDF]

Progress of Theoretical and Experimental Physics, 2018
Major construction and initial-phase operation of a second-generation gravitational-wave detector KAGRA has been completed. The entire 3-km detector is installed underground in a mine in order to be isolated from background seismic vibrations on the surface.

Quantum expander for gravitational-wave observatories [PDF]

Light: Science & Applications, 2019
AbstractThe quantum uncertainty of laser light limits the sensitivity of gravitational-wave observatories. Over the past 30 years, techniques for squeezing the quantum uncertainty, as well as for enhancing gravitational-wave signals with optical resonators have been invented.
