Twin mirrors for laser interferometric gravitational-wave detectors.

TL;DR: The realization and the characterization of the first twin large low-loss mirrors with transmissions differing by less than 0.01% are described.

Scientific potential of Einstein Telescope

Bangalore Suryanarayana Sathyaprakash, +144 more
TL;DR: The advanced interferometer network will herald a new era in observational astronomy as mentioned in this paper, and there is a very strong science case to go beyond the advanced detector network and build detectors that operate in a frequency range from 1 Hz to 10 kHz, with sensitivity a factor 10 better in amplitude.

The Virgo interferometric gravitational antenna

Fausto Acernese, +118 more
TL;DR: In this paper, various techniques developed in order to reach its target extreme performance are outlined, and the 3-km-long Virgo gravitational wave antenna, which will be particularly sensitive in the low frequency range (10-100 Hz) is presently in its commissioning phase.

Advanced Virgo Status

Jerome Degallaix, +182 more
TL;DR: Advanced Virgo is the successor of the initial Virgo gravitational wave detector as discussed by the authors, which uses the infrastructure of its predecessor but aims to be 10 times more sensitive than the original Virgo detector.
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Realization of low-loss mirrors with sub-nanometer flatness for future gravitational wave detectors

TL;DR: In this paper, a planetary motion completed by masking technique has been studied and the two first configurations based on a single rotation motion combined or not with uniformity masks allow to obtain coating thickness uniformity around 0.2 % rms on 160 mm diameter.
