Journal ArticleDOI
Recycling in laser-interferometric gravitational-wave detectors.
TL;DR: It is shown that it may be made to further enhance the sensitivity within a narrow bandwidth, becoming tuned recycling, and the various sensitivity-bandwidth combinations, together with the tuning properties, are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Automatic alignment of optical interferometers
TL;DR: A system for automatic alignment of optical interferometers relies on using differential phase modulation to permit the detection of the phase difference between two fundamental-mode Gaussian beams at the output of an interferometer.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental demonstration of an automatic alignment system for optical interferometers.
TL;DR: An automatic alignment system, based on a differential phase-sensing technique described in a companion paper, has been experimentally demonstrated on the 10-m prototype laser interferometric gravitational wave detector in Glasgow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Experimental demonstration of dual recycling for interferometric gravitational-wave detectors
Kenneth A. Strain,B. J. Meers +1 more
TL;DR: Dual recycling will allow better performance from laser-interferometric gravitational-wave detectors when searching for continuous radiation from pulsars, for a stochastic background from cosmic strings or the early stages of the big bang, or even for the chirp of gravitational radiation emitted by coalescing compact binaries.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimization of long-baseline optical interferometers for gravitational-wave detection.
TL;DR: The goal of this paper is to analyze and to evaluate the different configurations currently considered for the interferometric detectors of gravitational waves, and to describe the new idea of using detuned Fabry-Perot resonators, showing that, in some cases, it may represent the best compromise between bandwidth and peak sensitivity.
