Sub-pm/$\mathrm{\mathbf{\sqrt{\rm Hz}}}$ non-reciprocal noise in the LISA backlink fiber

TL;DR: In this paper, a Zerodur baseplate with fused silica components attached to it using hydroxide-catalysis bonding was used to demonstrate the reciprocity of a polarization-maintaining single-mode fiber at the 1 pm/$\sqrt{\textrm{Hz}} level as is required for LISA.
Journal ArticleDOI

On-orbit alignment and diagnostics for the LISA Technology Package

TL;DR: In this article, a procedure to perform fully autonomous on-orbit alignment of the interferometer on board the LISA Technology Package (LTP) has been presented, which consists of two free-floating test masses as inertial sensors that additionally serve as end mirrors of a set of interferometers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Towards the LISA backlink: experiment design for comparing optical phase reference distribution systems

TL;DR: In this paper, phase reference implementations with a target non-reciprocity of at most μrad, equivalent to 1 pm for a wavelength of 1064 nm in the frequency band from 0.1 mHz to 1 Hz were discussed.

Effects of transients in LIGO suspensions on searches for gravitational waves

Michelle E. Walker, +202 more
TL;DR: An analysis of the transient behavior of the Advanced LIGO suspensions used to seismically isolate the optics finds that there are transients seen by the longitudinal motion monitors of quadruple suspensions, but they are not significantly correlated with transient motion above the noise floor in the gravitational wave strain data, and therefore do not present a dominant source of background noise in the searches for transient gravitational wave signals.
