Applied Optics, 2021 Small, highly absorbing points are randomly present on the surfaces of the main interferometer optics in Advanced LIGO. The resulting nanometer scale thermo-elastic deformations and substrate lenses from these micron-scale absorbers significantly reduce the sensitivity of the interferometer directly though a reduction in the power ...Aidan F.

, 2006 For the design and commissioning of the LIGO interferometer, simulation tools have been used explicitly and implicitly.

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2001 Technical discussions of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO) sensitivity often focus on its effective sensitivity to gravitational waves in a given band; nevertheless, the goal of the LIGO Project is to ``do science.'' Exploiting this new observational perspective to explore the Universe is a long-term goal, toward which LIGO'openaire +2 more sourcesImproving the Sensitivity of Advanced LIGO Using Noise Subtraction [PDF]
, 2019 This paper presents an adaptable, parallelizable method for subtracting
linearly coupled noise from Advanced LIGO data. We explain the features
developed to ensure that the process is robust enough to handle the variability
