The POLIS interferometer for ponderomotive squeezed light generation

摘要: Abstract POLIS ( POnderomotive LIght Squeezer ) is a suspended interferometer, presently under construction, devoted to the generation of ponderomotive squeezed light and study interaction non classical quantum states macroscopic objects. The interferometer Michelson whose half-meter long arms are constituted by high-finesse cavities, seismic isolation chain similar Virgo SuperAttenuator. mass cavity mirrors chosen be tens grams: this value sufficiently high permit use well-tested suspension techniques but also small generate coupling among two phase quadratures with limited amount in cavity, order few kW. In short paper main features shown, together expected sensitivity squeezing factor.
