    Abstract Higher-order spatial laser modes have recently been investigated as candidates for reducing test-mass thermal noise in ground-based gravitational-wave detectors such as advanced LIGO. In particular, higher-order Hermite-Gauss (HG) modes have gained attention within the community for their more robust behaviors against random test-mass surface deformations and stronger sensing and control capacities. In this Letter we offer experimental investigations on various aspects of HG mode interferometry. We have generated purified HG modes up to the twelfth order HG_{6,6} mode, with a power conversion efficiency of 38.8% and 27.7% for the HG_{3,3} and HG_{6,6} modes respectively. We demonstrate for the first time the misalignment and mode mismatch-induced power coupling loss measurements for HG modes up to the HG_{6,6}. We report an excellent agreement with the extended numerical power loss factors that in the "small power loss" region converge to 2n+1 or n^{2}+n+1 for a misaligned or mode mismatched HG_{n,n} mode. We also demonstrate the wavefront sensing (WFS) signal measurement for HG modes up to the HG_{6,6}. The measurement result is accurately in accordance with theoretical WFS gain β_{n,n-1}sqrt[n]+β_{n,n+1}sqrt[n+1] for an HG_{n,n} mode, with β_{n,n-1} being the beat coefficient of the adjacent HG_{n,n} and HG_{n-1,n} modes on a split photodetector.

  2. Book ; Online: Detection of Gravitational memory effect in LISA using triggers from ground-based detectors

    Abstract The LIGO-Virgo-Kagra (LVK) collaboration has detected gravitational waves from 90 Compact Binary Coalescences. In addition to fortifying the linearized theory of General Relativity (GR), the statistical ensemble of detections also provides prospects of detecting nonlinear effects predicted by GR, one such prediction being the nonlinear gravitational memory effect. For detected stellar and intermediate mass compact binaries, the induced strain from the memory effect is one or two orders below the detector noise background. Additionally, since most of the energy is radiated at merger the strain induced by the memory effect resembles a step function at the merger time. These facts motivate the idea of coherently stacking up data streams from recorded GW events at these merger times so that the cumulative memory strain is detected with a sufficient SNR. GW detectors essentially record the integrated strain response at time scales of the round trip light travel time, making future space-based long arm interferometers like LISA ideal for detecting the memory effect at low frequencies. In this paper, we propose a method that uses the event catalog of ground-based detectors and searches for corresponding memory strains in the LISA data stream. Given LVK's O3 science run catalog, we use scaling arguments and assumptions on the source population models to estimate the run time required for LISA to accumulate a memory SNR of 5, using triggers from current and future ground-based detectors. Finally, we extend these calculations for using beyond LISA missions like ALIA, AMIGO, and Folkner to detect the gravitational memory effect. The results for LISA indicate a possible detection of the memory effect within the 10 year LISA mission lifetime and the corresponding results for beyond LISA missions are even more promising.

    Abstract With his Ph.D. thesis, presented here in the format of a "Springer Theses", Paul Fulda won the 2012 GWIC thesis prize awarded by the Gravitational Wave International Committee. The impact of thermal noise on future gravitational wave detectors depends on the size and shape of the interrogating laser beam. It had been known since 2006 that, in theory, higher-order Laguerre-Gauss modes could reduce thermal noise. Paul Fulda’s research brings Laguerre-Gauss modes an enormous step forward. His work includes analytical, numerical and experimental work on table-top setups as well as experiments at the Glasgow 10m prototype interferometer. Using numerical simulations the LG33 mode was selected as the optical mode to be tested. Further research by Paul and his colleagues since then concentrated on this mode. Paul has developed and demonstrated simple and effective methods to create this mode with diffractive optics and successfully demonstrated its compatibility with the essential building blocks of gravitational wave detectors, namely, optical cavities, Michelson interferometers and opto-electronic sensing and control systems. Through this work, Laguerre-Gauss modes for interferometers have been transformed from an essentially unknown entity to a well understood option with an experimental basis

    Abstract This paper analytically and numerically investigates misalignment and mode-mismatch-induced power coupling coefficients and losses as a function of Hermite-Gauss (HG) mode order. We show that higher-order HG modes are more susceptible to beam perturbations when, for example, coupling into optical cavities: the misalignment and mode-mismatch-induced power coupling losses scale linearly and quadratically with respect to the mode indices, respectively. As a result, the mode-mismatch tolerance for the ${{\rm HG}_{3,3}}$ mode is reduced to a factor of 0.28 relative to the currently used ${{\rm HG}_{0,0}}$ mode. This is a potential hurdle to using higher-order modes to reduce thermal noise in future gravitational-wave detectors.

    Abstract We report the design, construction, and operation of a multi-axis heterodyne interferometry (MAHI) system operating at MHz heterodyne frequencies, which provides a testbed for technologies to be used in the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) space-based gravitational wave mission. The system was calibrated for measurement of the piston, pitch, and yaw of a three-axis piezo-actuated mirror, giving measured calibration values that closely match those predicted by a simulation based on Gaussian beam tracing. The piston sensitivity of the MAHI system in the LISA band was measured to be below 10

    Abstract We have investigated the generation of highly pure higher-order Laguerre-Gauss (LG) beams at high laser power of order 100 W, the same regime that will be used by second-generation gravitational wave interferometers such as Advanced LIGO. We report on the generation of a helical-type LG33 mode with a purity of order 97% at a power of 83 W, the highest power ever reported in literature for a higher-order LG mode. This is a fundamental step in proving technical readiness for use of LG beams in gravitational wave interferometers of future generations.

    Abstract Alignment sensing is often required in precision interferometry applications such as Advanced LIGO in order to achieve the optimum performance. Currently favored sensing schemes rely on the use of two separate radio-frequency (RF) quadrant photodetectors and Gouy phase telescopes to determine the alignment of a beam relative to an optical cavity axis. In this paper, we demonstrate an alternative sensing scheme that has potential advantages over the current standard schemes. We show that by using electro-optic beam deflectors to impose RF jitter sidebands on a beam, it is possible to extract full alignment signals for two in-line optical cavities from just one single-element photodetector in reflection of each cavity.

    Abstract This paper describes a novel, to the best of our knowledge, approach to build ultrastable interferometers using commercial mirror mounts anchored in an ultralow expansion (ULE) base. These components will play a critical role in any light particle search (ALPS) and will also be included in ground testing equipment for the upcoming laser interferometer space antenna (LISA) mission. Contrary to the standard ultrastable designs where mirrors are bonded to the spacers, ruling out any later modifications and alignments, our design remains flexible and allows the alignment of optical components at all stages to be optimized and changed. Here we present the dimensional stability and angular stability of two commercial mirror mounts characterized in a cavity setup. The long-term length change in the cavity did not exceed 30 nm and the relative angular stability was within 2 µrad, which meet the requirements for ALPS. We were also able to demonstrate 1

    Abstract We report on the design and performance of small optic suspensions developed to suppress seismic motion of out-of-cavity optics in the input optics subsystem of the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory. These compact single stage suspensions provide isolation in all six degrees of freedom of the optic, local sensing and actuation in three of them, and passive damping for the other three.
