摘要: Publisher Summary This chapter discusses some aspects for the optical design of interferometric detectors, in their first generation and next (advanced) generations. The reviews principles detection gravitational waves lists main noise sources that limit LIGO/VIRGO sensitivities, present or future advanced configuration. different configurations proposed broadband configurations, narrow-band operations are also reviewed. provides an overview specifications a shot-noise limited interferometer, such as VIRGO recalls use dual recycling technique can relax these (severe) specifications. coupling laser geometry fluctuations to interferometer misalignments is explains non-linear thermal effects arise detectors waves.
