High power in Advanced LIGO
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 January 2019
Abstract
The LIGO detectors have just completed a successful and exciting observation run. Both facilities are now undergoing upgrades and commissioning, including doubling the circulating power in the interferometer which will increase LIGO’s sensitivity above 100 Hz. This paper motivates the power increase and discusses the problems in general that arise with higher power and the progress to date with addressing them. Topics include input power noise coupling, parametric instability, and thermal effects.
