Gravitational Waves: Detectors to Detections

2019
We announced the observation of gravitational waves from the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) on 11-February-2016 [1], one hundred years after Einstein first proposed the existence of gravitational waves [2, 3]. Whether gravitational waves existed or not was controversial among theorists for the first 50 years, and then the ...

A gravitational wave detector: The Virgo interferometer

Proceedings of the International School of Physics “Enrico Fermi”, 2010
Gravitational waves were predicted in 1916 by Einstein as a consequence of the theory of General Relativity: accelerated masses can produce ripples propagating at the speed of light, which perturb the space-time metric. Thanks to the extremely weak coupling with matter, gravitational waves can cross the universe undisturbed and, hence, are a probe of ...

Quantum Measurement in Gravitational-Wave Detectors

Frontiers in Optics 2007/Laser Science XXIII/Organic Materials and Devices for Displays and Energy Conversion, 2006
Laser interferometric gravitational-wave detectors measure tiny motions of macroscopic mirrors. Complex interferometer configurations and quantum optical techniques will be used to enhance sensitivity in future interferometers, which will reach and surpass the Standard Quantum Limit.

The ultracryogenic gravitational-wave detector AURIGA

Classical and Quantum Gravity, 1997
The first run of the ultracryogenic resonant bar detector AURIGA is in progress. Diagnostics on the cryogenics, the data acquisition system and on the noise characteristics have been performed, with results in accord with the design. The bar reached 140 mK. In tests down to 2 K the detector noise was very close to `Brownian'.

Alignment of an interferometric gravitational wave detector

Applied Optics, 1998
Interferometric gravitational wave detectors are designed to detect small perturbations in the relative lengths of their kilometer-scale arms that are induced by passing gravitational radiation. An analysis of the effects of imperfect optical alignment on the strain sensitivity of such an interferometer shows that to achieve maximum strain sensitivity ...
