  • Atom interferometry for tests of general relativity 
    Loriani Fard, Sina Leon (Hannover : Institutionelles Repositorium der Leibniz Universität Hannover, 2020)
    The search for a fundamental, self-consistent theoretical framework to cover phenomena over all energy scales is possibly the most challenging quest of contemporary physics. Approaches to reconcile quantum mechanics and ...
  • Atomic source selection in space-borne gravitational wave detection 
    Loriani, S.; Schlippert, D.; Schubert, C.; Abend, Sven; Ahlers, H.; Ertmer, Wolfgang; Rudolph, J.; Hogan, J.M.; Kasevich, M.A.; Rasel, E.M.; Gaaloul, N. (Bristol : Institute of Physics Publishing, 2019)
    Recent proposals for space-borne gravitational wave detectors based on atom interferometry rely on extremely narrow single-photon transition lines as featured by alkaline-earth metals or atomic species with similar electronic ...
  • Birefringence measurements on crystalline silicon 
    Krüger, Christoph; Heinert, Daniel; Khalaidovski, Alexander; Steinlechner, Jessica; Nawrodt, Ronny; Schnabel, Roman; Lück, Harald (London : Institute of Physics Publishing, 2015)
    Crystalline silicon has been proposed as a new test mass material in third generation gravitational wave detectors such as the Einstein telescope (ET). Birefringence can reduce the interferometric contrast and can produce ...
  • Characterization, Stabilization and Coherent Combination of High Power Laser Beams for Gravitational Wave Detectors 
    Bode, Nina (Hannover : Institutionelles Repositorium der Leibniz Universität Hannover, 2023)
    Current and future gravitational wave detectors (GWDs) require high power and low noise laser systems at a wavelength of 1064nm in the continuous wave regime, with excellent spatial beam quality. These systems are highly ...
  • High-efficiency squeezed light generation for gravitational wave detectors 
    Mehmet, M.; Vahlbruch, H. (Bristol : Institute of Physics Publishing, 2019)
    The engineering of strongly squeezed vacuum states of light is a key technology for the reduction of quantum noise in gravitational wave detectors. We report on the observation of up to 12.0 dB squeezed vacuum states of ...
  • LISA Pathfinder closed-loop analysis: a model breakdown of the in-loop observables 
    LISA Pathfinder Collaboration; Audley, H.; Born, M.; Danzmann, K.; Diepholz, I.; Heinzel, G.; Hewitson, M.; Karnesis, N.; Kaune, B.; Korsakova, N.; Paczkowski, S.; Reiche, J.; Troebs, M.; Wanner, G.; Wissel, L.; Wittchen, A.; et al. (London : Institute of Physics, 2017)
    This paper describes a methodology to analyze, in the frequency domain, the steady-state control performances of the LISA Pathfinder mission. In particular, it provides a technical framework to give a comprehensive ...
  • LISA Pathfinder: First steps to observing gravitational waves from space 
    LISA Pathfinder Collaboration; Audley, H.; Born, M.; Danzmann, K.; Diepholz, I.; Heinzel, G.; Hewitson, M.; Karnesis, N.; Kaune, B.; Korsakova, N.; Paczkowsk, S.; Reiche, J.; Troebs, M.; Wanner, G.; Wissel, L.; Wittchen, A.; et al. (London : Institute of Physics, 2017)
    LISA Pathfinder, the European Space Agency's technology demonstrator mission for future spaceborne gravitational wave observatories, was launched on 3 December 2015, from the European space port of Kourou, French Guiana. ...
  • The LISA Three-Backlink experiment: ultra-stable optical bench construction and non-reciprocity investigation 
    Bischof, Lea (Hannover : Institutionelles Repositorium der Leibniz Universität Hannover, 2023)
    The Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) will be a future gravitational wave observatory in space. It will consist of three spacecraft forming a triangular constellation using laser links. The angles of the constellation ...
  • Local active isolation of the AEI-SAS for the AEI 10 m prototype facility
