We present a description of the prototype interferometric gravitational wave detector at Glasgow. The detector, which has been under development for a number of years, consists of two perpendicular 10‐m‐long high finesse Fabry–Perot cavities fo

The statistical theory of signal detection and the estimation of its parameters are reviewed and applied to the case of detection of the gravitational-wave signal from a coalescing binary by a laser interferometer. The correlation integral and the co

Modulation, signal, and quantum noise in interferometers

Autor: Kenneth A. Strain, B. J. Meers

Publikováno v: Physical review. A, Atomic, molecular, and optical physics. 44(7)

We discuss the generation of quantum noise in interferometers. A heuristic model is described that enables different characteristics of the noise to be understood and calculated. In particular, the effects of modulation on signal and noise in interfe

Wave-front distortion in laser-interferometric gravitational-wave detectors

Autor: Kenneth A. Strain, B. J. Meers

Publikováno v: Physical review. D, Particles and fields. 43(10)

We discuss the limitations placed upon the sensitivity of laser-interferometric gravitational-wave detectors by imperfections in the shape or alignment of the optics, for various different detector configurations. Wave-front distortion is seen to be
