TL;DR: The significance of the feasibility demonstration is that substantial levels of vibrational amplitude reduction were obtained with very small transducers in nonoptimal positions on noncritical portions of the optical structure.

TL;DR: The analysis is discussed in terms of wormholes, and the observational test proposed is more generally a search for compact negative mass objects of any origin, recommending that MACHO search data be analyzed for GNACHO's.

TL;DR: A wideband laser-interferometer gravitational-radiation antenna was constructed and used to search for gravitational radiation in the frequency band from 1 to 20 kHz as discussed by the authors, where the antenna consisted of a Michelson interferometer with the beamsplitter and retroreflectors attached to masses on soft suspensions that allowed essentially free motion above the suspension frequencies.

TL;DR: In this article, a laser interferometer transducer for a long, wideband, laser-linked gravitational radiation antenna was constructed and tested using 80 microW from a single mode Spectra-Physics 119 laser on a vibration isolation table in a quiet room.

TL;DR: This work has constructed and tested a laser interferometer transducer for a long, wideband, laser-linked gravitational radiation antenna and measured the smallest vibrational displacement measured directly with a laser to date.
