This project aims to develop a new type of interferometer that measures the velocity of test masses instead of their position, potentially overcoming limitations in sensitivity. It focuses on demonstrating this technology to enhance measurements in gravitational wave detection.
From the very first Michelson Interferometer invented over 100 years ago to today’s kilometre-scale gravitational wave detectors the sensitivity of interferometric length measurements has been improved by about 10 orders of magnitude and is now limited by the so-called Standard Quantum Limit (SQL), a manifestation of Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle.
The SQL is comprised of the inevitable combination of sensing noise (photon shot noise) and back action noise (photon radiation pressure noise) w…
