Detector Characterization and Mitigation of Noise in Ground-Based Gravitational-Wave Interferometers

open access: yesGalaxies, 2022
Since the early stages of operation of ground-based gravitational-wave interferometers, careful monitoring of these detectors has been an important component of their successful operation and observations. Characterization of gravitational-wave detectors

Prototype superfluid gravitational wave detector [PDF]

open access: yesPhysical Review D, 2021
We study a cross-shaped cavity filled with superfluid $^4$He as a prototype resonant-mass gravitational wave detector. Using a membrane and a re-entrant microwave cavity as a sensitive optomechanical transducer, we were able to observe the thermally excited high-$Q$ acoustic modes of the helium at 20 mK temperature and achieved a strain sensitivity of $

Squeezing in Gravitational Wave Detectors

open access: yesGalaxies, 2022
Injecting optical squeezed states of light, a technique known as squeezing, is now a tool for gravitational wave detection. Its ability to reduce quantum noise is helping to reveal more gravitational wave transients, expanding the catalog of observations
