Angular instability due to radiation pressure in the LIGO gravitational wave detector (2009)
Hirose, Eiichi, Kawabe, Keita, Sigg, Daniel, Adhikari, Rana, Saulson, Peter R.
We observed the effect of radiation pressure on the angular sensing and control system of the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) interferometer's core optics at LIGO Hanford...
A Quantum-Enhanced Prototype Gravitational-Wave Detector (2008)
Goda, Keisuke, Miyakawa, Osamu, Mikhailov, Eugeniy E., Saraf, Shailendhar, Adhikari, Rana, McKenzie, Kirk, ...
The quantum nature of the electromagnetic field imposes a fundamental limit on the sensitivity of optical precision measurements such as spectroscopy, microscopy, and interferometry. The so-called...
Miyakawa, Osamu, Ward, Robert, Adhikari, Rana, Evans, Matthew, Abbott, Benjamin, Bork, Rolf, ...
We report on the optical response of a suspended-mass detuned resonant sideband extraction (RSE) interferometer with power recycling. The purpose of the detuned RSE configuration is to manipulate and...
Measurement of Optical Response of a Detuned Resonant Sideband Extraction Interferometer (2006)
Miyakawa, Osamu, Ward, Robert, Adhikari, Rana, Evans, Matthew, Abbott, Benjamin, Bork, Rolf, ...
We report on the optical response of a suspended-mass detuned resonant sideband extraction (RSE) interferometer with power recycling. The purpose of the detuned RSE configuration is to manipulate and...
Lock Acquisition Scheme For The Advanced LIGO Optical configuration (2006)
Miyakawa, Osamu, Ward, Robert, Adhikari, Rana, Abbott, Benjamin, Bork, Rolf, Busby, Daniel, ...
The lock acquisition scheme for the Advanced LIGO optical configuration, which makes use of "resonant sideband extraction", is under investigation in the 40 meter prototype interferometer at Caltech....
Determination and optimization of mode matching into optical cavities by heterodyne detection (2000)
Mueller, Guido, Shu, Qi-ze, Adhikari, Rana, Tanner, D. B., Reitze, David, Sigg, Daniel, ...
We report on a novel high-sensitivity method to characterize and improve mode matching into optical cavities. This method is based on heterodyne detection of cylindrical transverse cavity modes. A...
